Master the 3D motion dynamics of rigid bodies with this comprehensive course from Georgia Tech, designed for in-depth understanding and practical applications

This advanced course, offered by Georgia Tech, focuses on the dynamics of rigid bodies in three-dimensional (3D) motion, essential for engineering systems and structures. It covers both kinematics and kinetics of motion, including advanced topics such as angular velocity, accelerations in moving reference frames, Eulerian angles, and 3D work-energy principles. The course builds upon fundamental engineering mechanics concepts and requires prior knowledge of 2D motion dynamics. Through a series of modules, students will develop the skills to analyze complex 3D motion problems, understand the Earth as a moving frame, and apply principles of angular momentum and energy to 3D systems.

There are 6 modules in this course

This course provides an advanced study of rigid body dynamics in three-dimensional (3D) motion, crucial for understanding complex engineering systems and structures. The curriculum is divided into six comprehensive modules, each focusing on specific aspects of 3D dynamics. Students begin by mastering the concepts of angular velocity and acceleration in 3D, then progress to analyzing velocities and accelerations in moving reference frames. The course covers advanced topics such as Eulerian angles, rotational matrices, and the analysis of angular momentum in 3D. Students will learn to determine inertial properties of 3D bodies and understand their transformations. The latter part of the course focuses on developing and applying Euler's equations for 3D rotational motion, as well as 3D impulse-momentum and work-energy principles. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on solving real-world engineering problems and developing analytical skills applicable to complex motion systems.
