Learning outcomes To teach the application of the basic laws of Mechanics to Engineering problems related to system in motion. The student should be able to formulate a problem of Dynamics, to develop a model of system, to develop the equations of motion, and to determine the required characteristics.
Syllabus 1. Kinematics of a particle. Position, velocity, acceleration. Trajectory. Rectilinear, curvilinear, and circular motion.
2. Composed motion of the point.
3. Force and Acceleration. Newton's laws. Equations of motion in rectangular and curvilinear coordinates.
4. Linear momentum. Conservation of linear momentum. Collisions.
5. Angular momentum.
6. Work and Energy. Work of a force. Principle of work and energy. Conservative forces and energy conservation.
7. Central force. Motion in a central gravitational field. Kepler's laws.
8. Kinematics of rigid bodies. Translation of a rigid body. Rotation of a rigid body. Plane motion. 3D motion. Euler angles.
9. Composed motion of a rigid body.
10. Dynamics of Rigid Body. Equations of motion.
