Engineering Mechanics III – Dynamics

What it is about

In this module you will learn to describe movements of points and rigid bodies and to analyze the forces that cause these movements. The focus is on kinematics in fixed and moving reference frames, kinetics of masses and rigid bodies, collision processes and oscillations. By the end you will be able to analyze and compute mechanical problems related to forces, motions and oscillatory systems.

What you will be able to do

• Kinematic description of points and rigid bodies
• Relativokinematics in moving coordinate systems
• Kinetic analysis of masses and rigid bodies
• Understanding and calculation of collision phenomena
• Analysis and calculation of oscillation systems
• Apply fundamental methods for solving technical mechanics problems

What the module consists of

• VorlesungDelivery of theoretical foundations on time-varying bodies
• ÜbungenCalculation of example problems, opportunity to clarify questions and voluntary practice problems

Teaching method

• VortragIntroduction and explanation of theoretical fundamentals; important content demonstrated on the tablet
• ÜbungsaufgabenApplying and practicing the methods; discussion of example problems and clarification of questions
