Course Description: This course provides a fundamental knowledge of dynamics,
including kinematics and kinetics of particle, system of particles, and rigid
bodies in planar and three-dimensional motion. A systematic approach of vector
analysis and modeling (SAVAM) is introduced to precisely describe linear and
angular positions, velocities, accelerations, forces, and torques for
generating a set of equations of motion, without missing any terms. Other
modeling of energy equations, momentum equations, impact of particles and rigid
bodies, and Euler equations* are also addressed. Not only are students trained
to have the ability of modeling dynamic systems in terms of equations of
motion, but they are also experienced with engineering insight of physical
laws. (*optional).
