MAK 217 - Dynamics

Course Objectives

1.To teach the basic principles of particle and rigid body kinematics and dynamics.
2.To give the ability to form dynamics related mathematical models of engineering mechanisms and machines.
3.To give the abilities of calculating the motion that results due to applied forces and moments and calculating the forces and moments that are necessary to result in prescribed motion characteristics.
