EGR 257 : Dynamics
This course is a continuation of the study of mechanics initiated in EGR251 Statics and EGR253 Advanced Statics. The fundamental principles of kinematics and kinetics are discussed. Objects are treated as particles as well as rigid bodies. Concepts of force, mass, acceleration, impulse - momentum, and work - energy principles are discussed in detail to analyze problems of motion. 3 credits. Prerequisite: EGR253 Advanced Statics and MTH215 Calculus II
Course Outcomes
1. Explain basic theories and concepts in engineering.
2. Solve kinematic particle and rigid body problems for acceleration, velocity and position.
3. Use Newton’s 2nd Law to solve kinetic particle problems.
4. Use Energy and Momentum Methods to solve motion of particle problems, system of particle problems and rigid body problems.
5. Solve kinetic rigid body problems for motion in a plane.
