Lesson I-Dynamics and Control I

Course Description

Introduction to the dynamics and vibrations of lumped-parameter versions of mechanical techniques. Kinematics. Force-momentum formulation for techniques of particles as well as rigid bodies in planar motion. Work-energy concepts. Digital displacements and also virtual work. Lagrange’s equations for techniques of particles and rigid bodies in planar motion.
