GMC330Solid Mechanics
3 credits | Pre-requisite: MAT307 And GMC310 And GMC320
Dynamics of Rigid Bodies is a sub-branch of the general field of study known as Engineering Mechanics. It is very closely related to—and often combined with—the study of Statics, which you encountered in GMC 310, with the study of the Mechanics Engineering Dynamics GMC 320 where we have covered the dynamics of particles. In this subject, we will thus study accelerated motion of Rigid Bodies. We will then take a step towards the more realistic engineering problems by considering the size, shape, and orientation of objects as they accelerate. We term this type of motion “Rigid Body Motion.” We begin, with the Kinematics of Rigid Bodies, looking first at the rotational motion of objects. We will then introduce the possibility that objects can move (and accelerate) by translating and rotating at the same time. Furthermore, GMC 330 covers many of the three-dimensional Kinematics and kinetics of a Rigid Body principles. Finally, an introduction of the Vibrational Motion, or what happens when objects oscillate about a neutral state will be covered.
