DNK 201 - Dynamics

Course Objectives

1.To teach the basic principles of kinematics and kinetics of particles.
2.To teach the basic principles of planar kinematics and kinetics of rigid bodies.
3.To make an introduction to the subject of vibration analysis.
4.To teach students to construct dynamic models and to predict the responses of these models to applied forces using Newtonian mechanics.
