The aim of this course is to introduce the fundamental concepts and principles of
dynamics to undergraduate mechanical & aerospace engineering students. This course is
designed for you to understand the characteristic planar motion of particles and rigid
bodies. Throughout the course the vector is used as a basic mathematical tool to derive all
equations. Intensive training in vector analysis will be of great help for you to understand
in depth the concepts and principles in Dynamics. The course will cover both kinematics
and kinetics of particle and rigid bodies. It focuses on the key problems in the mechanics,
such as the definition of a reference frame, concepts of translation and rotation of rigid
body, circular motion of a particle, and principles in kinetics for motion of particle and rigid
body.
After the study, you will be equipped with the basic knowledge for further study in the
broad field of engineering.
