| Learning objectives | Understanding the theory and being able to solve simple problems on the following topics: Part I Particles/Systems of particles Kinematics Rectilinear/Curvilinear motion Coordinate systems Kinetics Newton’s laws and Euler’s laws Work and Energy principle Conservation of momentum and impact Part II Bodies in Rigid Planar (2D) Motion Kinematics Relative velocity and relative acceleration Instantaneous center of zero velocity Velocities and accelerations with 2 different reference frames Kinetics Newton/Euler Equations Work and Energy principle Impulse and Momentum Mastering the lecture content involves being able to set up the kinematics and dynamics equations, transform them between coordinate systems, solve the equations and interpret the solutions. Exercises involve manual solving of equations related to the lecture's topics and interpreting the solutions. Also, the influence of different system parameters on these systems and their solutions will be discussed and should help the students to get a feeling for dynamic systems, their parameters, and interpreting their behaviour. In addition, digital means like Matlab/Simulink, Maple or other tools for simulation and problem solving will be used to deepen the understanding of common engineering tools, functions, and representation of solutions. |
