Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Formulate and solve problems involving the kinematics and dynamics of particles and rigid bodies. [1, 2]
- Employ impulse-momentum relationships and conservation of energy to solve dynamics problems. [1, 2]
- Formulate and solve the equations governing the response of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems under free-vibration and general force application, using analytical and numerical solution techniques. [1]
- Reduce a structural system to an equivalent SDOF system and determine the effective mass, stiffness and period of vibration. [1, 2]
- Formulate and solve the equations of motion for normal mode vibration of multi-degree-of-freedom systems. [1]
