Master dynamics in engineering with this free online course covering particle kinematics, kinetics, rigid body motion, and more. Ideal for engineering professionals.
The "Dynamics Course for Engineering" offers a comprehensive exploration into the principles of dynamics tailored specifically for engineering professionals. Spanning 28 hours and 5 minutes, this extensive course is a part of the Professional Courses category, with a specific focus on Engineering and Mechanics. It is meticulously designed to provide both theoretical foundations and practical examples to enhance understanding and application.
The journey begins with an insightful Introduction to Dynamics along with a review of prerequisite content, ensuring that students are well-prepared for the more complex topics ahead. The course swiftly moves into the realm of Particle Kinematics starting with rectilinear motion. This segment includes theoretical frameworks as well as practical examples to solidify the learner’s grasp on the subject.
Subsequent lectures delve deeper into particle motion, exploring Curvilinear Motion using both natural (N/T) coordinates and polar coordinates. Students will appreciate the blend of theoretical lectures and hands-on examples, which seamlessly bridge the gap between concept and practice.
The course then transitions to the study of Particle Kinetics. These lectures comprehensively cover various topics, including work, potential energy, linear impulse-momentum, and collisions. Here again, the dual approach of theory and examples ensures that learners can not only understand but also apply the core principles in real-world scenarios.
Midway through the course, the focus shifts to Rigid Body Planar Kinematics. Topics such as relative velocity, sliding contacts, and moving reference frames are explored thoroughly. The curriculum is structured to provide a balance between theoretical knowledge and practical application, making complex concepts more digestible.
Next, learners will delve into Rigid Body Planar Kinetics, covering force-mass-acceleration relationships and the work-energy principle. This segment is enriched with practical examples to illustrate theoretical concepts further. The exploration extends to angular impulse and impacts, providing a well-rounded understanding of rigid body dynamics in planar motion.
As the course progresses, students are introduced to Rigid Body 3D Kinematics and Kinetics. This advanced section covers geometrical properties and Euler’s Equations of Motion, supported by practical examples to enhance comprehension and application of these higher-level principles.
The course concludes with a thorough Review of Course Content Areas, ensuring that all key topics are revisited and solidified, providing a comprehensive understanding of dynamics in engineering contexts. While there are no reviews yet, the detailed and carefully structured content promises a valuable educational experience for all participants.

Exercise: A car starts from rest with a linear acceleration specified by the relation a(t) = 30 + 2t, where a is the acceleration in meters per second squared, and t is the time in seconds. The car maintains this acceleration until it reaches a speed of 400 meters per second. Subsequently, the car decelerates with its acceleration specified by the relation a(v) = -0.003v^2, where a is the acceleration in meters per second squared and v is the velocity in meters per second. The deceleration continues until the car reaches a speed of 100 meters per second. What is the total distance covered by the car throughout the entire acceleration and deceleration process?
