MAE 232 - Dynamics

Kinematic and kinetic aspects of motion modeling applied to rigid bodies and mechanisms. Focus on free-body-analysis. Use of work-energy and impulse-momentum motion prediction methods. Use of Cartesian and simple non-Cartesian coordinate systems. Rotational motion, angular momentum, and rotational kinetic-energy modeling; body mass rotational moment of inertia. Relative-velocity and relative-acceleration connection relations/methods, including use of moving Cartesian coordinate systems. Introduction to 3d motion modeling. Computational applications, one hour workshop. (Y)
