Course Syllabus for students Spring 2022

On completion of the course, the student should;

- have a detailed knowledge of fundamental rigid body dynamics
- show understanding of the fundamental concepts of rigid body dynamics

- be able to make free body diagrams of systems of rigid bodies
- be able to develop and solve equations describing motions of rigid bodies
- be able to discuss problems and solutions written and orally.

- show ability to select appropriate solution strategies
- show ability to evaluate the plausibility of calculated solutions

The purpose of the course is to provide knowledge in mechanics.
- Dynamics of particles - repetition
- Systems of particles: Momentum, angular momentum, work, energy
- Rigid body dynamics in 2D: fixed axis rotation, general plane motion, mass moment of inertia, work, energy, impulse, impact
- Rigid body dynamics in 3D: fixed point rotation, kinetic energy, mass moment of inertia tensor, Euler equations, rotation of axis-symmetrical bodies, general three-dimensional motion, imbalance, gyroscopic motion

Lectures and exercises.
