DNK 201E - Dynamics

Course Objectives

Be able to construct idealized (particle and rigid body) dynamical models and predict model response to applied forces using Newtonian mechanics. More specifically:
Describe and predict the motion experienced by inertial and non-inertial observers.
Understand central force motion.
Understand the basic principles of 2D Rigid Body Motion.
Formulate the equations of Motion of 3D Rigid Bodies.
Understand the simple vibration analysis of a rigid body.
