syllabus for an Engineering Mechanics II

syllabus for an Engineering Mechanics II course, often focusing on dynamics:

Unit I: Kinematics of Particles

  • Rectilinear Motion: Equations of motion, motion under gravity
  • Curvilinear Motion: Projectile motion, normal and tangential components
  • Relative Motion: Relative velocity and acceleration

Unit II: Kinetics of Particles

  • Newton’s Second Law: Applications to particle motion
  • Work-Energy Principle: Kinetic and potential energy, conservation of energy
  • Impulse and Momentum: Linear momentum, impulse, conservation of momentum, impact

Unit III: Kinematics of Rigid Bodies

  • Rotation: Angular velocity and acceleration, rotational motion equations
  • Plane Motion: Translation, rotation about a fixed axis, general plane motion
  • Relative Velocity and Acceleration: Instantaneous center of rotation

Unit IV: Kinetics of Rigid Bodies

  • Equations of Motion: Newton-Euler equations, applications to planar motion
  • Work-Energy Principle: Work done by forces and moments, kinetic energy of rotation
  • Impulse and Momentum: Angular momentum, conservation principles

Unit V: Vibrations

  • Free Vibrations: Simple harmonic motion, undamped and damped systems
  • Forced Vibrations: Resonance, vibration isolation
  • Multi-Degree of Freedom Systems: Normal modes, natural frequencies

Unit VI: Applications of Dynamics

  • Mechanisms: Analysis of linkages, cams, gears
  • Vehicle Dynamics: Dynamics of automobiles, aircraft, and ships
