Fundamentals of Dynamics for Engineering Students

Improve your grades by mastering the fundamental concepts of engineering mechanics: dynamics

What you'll learn:

• Derivation of equations of motion.
• Plotting acceleration, velocity and displacement versus time.
• Mathematical analysis of motion along a straight line.
• Mathematical analysis of motion along a curved line.
• Analysis of projectile motion.
• Polar coordinates.
• Relative motion in one dimension.
• Relative motion in two dimensions.
• How to use Newton's Second Law to solve kinetics problems.
• How to apply Newton's Second Law using normal-tangential coordinates.
• How to apply Newton's Second Law using cylindrical coordinates.
• How to use the Principle of Work and Energy to solve kinetics problems.
• How to apply the Principle of Energy Conservation.
• How to use the Principle of Impulse and Momentum to solve kinetics problems.

This course covers the material typically included in a first university course in Engineering Mechanics:Dynamics. The focus of the course is on the fundamentals - you will learn the theory and also be guided by examples - in order for you to improve your university grades. This course is therefore the ideal supplement to your first university course in Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics, but can also be taken as a stand-alone course by anyone who wants to learn the fundamentals of engineering dynamics.
