Systems in Motion: Dynamics of Particles

Learn the 2D dynamics of particles and rigid bodies, focusing on engineering applications for a deeper understanding of motion and forces.

Learn the 2D dynamics of particles and rigid bodies, focusing on engineering applications for a deeper understanding of motion and forces.

This course introduces the study of bodies in motion as applied to engineering systems and structures. It covers the dynamics of particle motion and bodies in rigid planar (2D) motion, including both kinematics and kinetics. Students will learn about particle kinematics, Newton's Laws, Euler's Laws, work-energy principles, impulse-momentum, impact, and conservation of momentum. The course then progresses to planar rigid body kinematics and kinetics, covering topics such as relative velocity, instantaneous center of zero velocity, relative acceleration, moment of momentum, and equations of motion. Throughout the course, students will apply these principles to solve practical engineering problems.
