This unit builds on GENG1001 Engineering: Introduction to Engineering Mechanics and introduces the subject of engineering dynamics in more depth. The unit focuses on systems undergoing planar motion. Topics include coordinate systems, relative motion, rotating axes, systems of particles, rigid bodies and mechanisms. Newton's laws, energy and linear momentum principles are also covered. <br/><br/>Students attend lectures and, in parallel, solve a sequence of carefully designed tutorial problems. In this way, students can learn the meaning of the concepts presented in the lecture series by applying them to realistic dynamic systems. Some examples are drawn from the fields of robotics and... -- Course Website
