DNK 201 - Dynamics

Course Objectives

1. To enable students to construct idealized (particle and rigid body) dynamical models and predict model response to applied forces using Newtonian Mechanics.
2. To teach description and prediction of motion experienced by inertial and non-inertial observers and central force motion.
3. To teach the basic principles of 2-D rigid body motion.
4. To introduce the equations of motion of 3-D rigid bodies.
5. To teach a simple vibration analysis of rigid body.
