MODULE DESCRIPTOR MECH104P - Engineering Dynamics Code: MECH104P Alt Codes: None Title: Engineering Dynamics Level: 1 UCL Credits/ECTS: 0.5/7.5 Start: January End: April Taught by: Dr PJ Tan Prerequisites: ENGS103P Mathematical Modelling and Analysis and MECH101P Introduction to Mechanical Engineering. A-level physics and Maths will not be a substitute. Course Aims: The aims of the course are two-fold. First, it aims to teach the basic analytical methods, that is, the fundamental concepts and techniques of engineering dynamics. Second, it aims to show the implementation of these methods in the design and analysis of simple basic mechanisms. Method of Instruction: Lectures and tutorials. Tutorial sheets and other exercises will be used to provide formative assessment. Practical classes related to the reinforcement of conceptual ideas taught in this subject will be conducted and assessed in MECH102P Mechanical Engineering Practical Skills I. Assessment: Written examination (100%) To pass this course, students must: Obtain an overall pass mark of 40% Content: The course concentrates on dynamics where the concepts of Newton’s Law of motion, forces, work, energy, momentum and impulse will be covered and explained in depth using examples from everyday phenomenon such as ‘Why do hurricane in the northern hemisphere rotate counter-clockwise?’, ‘What is the energy loss from two colliding snooker balls?”, “Where should a door-stopper be placed to prevent the door hinges from coming loose?”, etc. The course will cover the following: 1. Kinematics of particles Rectilinear motion Curvilinear motion Relative motion 2. Kinet ics of part icles - Ne wt on’s 2nd La w Force, mass and acceleration Inertial reference frame 3. Kinetics of particles- Energy and Momentum Principles Work and kinetic energy Potential energy Impulse and momentum Linear and angular momentum 4. Systems of particles Application of 2 & 3 to systems of particles 5. Kinematics of rigid bodies Pure rotation Relative velocity and acceleration Sliding contact Moving reference frames 6. Plane motion of rigid bodies- Forces and Accelerations Force - linear momentum principle Moment - angular momentum principle D’Alembert’s principle Fixed axis rotation General planar motion 7. Plane motion of rigid bodies- Energy and Momentum Methods Work and kinetic energy Impulse and Momentum principle for rigid body Conservation of angular momentum Impulsive motion General Learning Outcomes: Knowledge and Understanding Upon completion of this module students should be able to: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the essential facts, concepts, theories and principles underlying Classical Mechanics. Have an appreciation of the wider multidisciplinary context of the underlying theory, including its applications to engineering design and application to real world problems. Skills and attributes Upon completion of this module students should be able to: Ability to apply appropriate quantitative science, engineering and mathematical tools to the analysis of problems arising in dynamics.
