ME 2003 - Mechanics III4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course involves the study of motion and forces which affect motion for a rigid body. Specific topics include: dynamic force analysis, work and energy, impulse and momentum, rigid body dynamics and vibrations. Applications of rigid body dynamics include linkages and gears. (prereq: ME 2002 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Determine the position, velocity and acceleration of given points of a properly constrained kinematic linkage
- Determine the acceleration or force causing acceleration using Newton’s Second Law of Motion
- Determine the motion of kinetic systems using the principle of work and energy
- Determine the forces acting on rigid bodies in motion
Prerequisites by Topic
