Overview
Description
In this course are discussed the fundamental concepts of kinematics and dynamics of single particles and rigid bodies. Newtonian mechanics tools like Newton laws, Euler laws, angular momentum and energy conservation laws are applied in the study of the motion of single particles and rigid bodies. These ideas are also used to describe the motion of mechanisms in mechanical engineering.
Course Learning Outcomes
At the ending of course student will be able to:
CO1. Develop free body and kinetic diagrams of single particles and rigid bodies systems.
CO2. Obtain the equations of motion of single particles and rigid bodies systems.
CO3. Solve the equations of motion by using analytic and numerical techniques.
CO4. Describe the motion of single particles and rigid bodies systems by using the Newton laws, Euler laws, and angular momentum and energy conservation laws.
