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.
