11.0 Introduction to Dynamics


• Mechanics
▪ Definition
- Mechanics is the science which describes and predicts the conditions of rest or motion of bodies under
action of forces
- Mechanics is the foundation of most engineering sciences and is an indispensable prerequisite to
their study

▪ Two types of mechanics


- Statics
: Concerned with the equilibrium of a body that is either at rest or moves with constant velocity
- Dynamics
: Concerned with accelerated motion of body

Kinematics is studying the motion of objects (particle, rigid bodies, etc.) but not considering the
forces, just studying the motion itself.
Kinetics is studying the motion of objects (particles, rigid bodies, etc.) and the forces that causes
those motions.

DYNAMICS

11.0 Introduction to Dynamics


• Particle
▪ Definition
- A particle is an object whose size and shape can be ignored when studying its motion. Only the
position of the mass center of the particle need to be considered. The orientation of the object or
rotation of the object plays no role in describing the motion of a particle.

- For example, for studies of the orbital motion of the earth about the sun, the earth can be considered
to be a particle because the rotation and internal structure of the earth have only insignificant effects
on its orbital motion.

- When a body (large or small) in a mechanics problem can be treated as a particle, the analysis is
greatly simplified since the mass can be assumed to be concentrated at a point and the concept of
rotation is not involved in the solution of the problem.

DYNAMICS

11.0 Introduction to Dynamics


• Rigid body
▪ Definition
- A rigid body can be represented as a collection of particles. The size and shape of the body as well as
the relative position of the particles comprising the body remain constant at all times and under all
conditions of loading.

- The rigid-body concept represents an idealization of the true situation since all real bodies will change
shape to a certain extent when subjected to a system of forces. Such changes are small for most
structural elements and machine parts encountered in engineering practice ; therefore, they have only
a negligible effect on the acceleration produced by the force system or on the reactions required to
maintain the equilibrium of the body

DYNAMICS

11.0 Introduction to Dynamics


• Elastic body
▪ Elasticity
- Almost all engineering materials possess to a certain extent the property of elasticity. If the external
forces producing deformation do not exceed a certain limit, the deformation disappears with the removal
of the forces.

- In your previous class, Solid Mechanics, in spring semester, it will be assumed that the bodies
undergoing the action of external forces are perfectly elastic, i.e., that they resume their initial form
completely after removal of the forces.

RECTILINEAR MOTION of PARTICLES DYNAMICS

11.1A Position, Velocity, & Acceleration


• Rectilinear and curvilinear motions
▪ Rectilinear motion
- Position, velocity, and acceleration of a particle as it moves along a straight line

▪ Curvilinear motion
- Position, velocity, and acceleration of a particle as it moves along a curved line in 2 or 3 dimensions

RECTILINEAR MOTION of PARTICLES DYNAMICS

11.1A Position, Velocity, & Acceleration


• Position and motion
▪ Position coordinate
- Position coordinate of a particle is defined by positive or negative distance of particle from a fixed
origin on the line.

▪ Motion
- The motion of a particle is known if the position coordinate
for a particle is known for every value of time t.
- Motion of the particle may be expressed in the form of a
function, e.g.,
x  t   6t 2  t 3

or in the form of a graph x vs. t.

11.1B Determination of the motion of a particle

• Motion of a particle
▪ Three classes of motion

- Recall, motion of a particle is known if position is known for all time t.


- Typically, conditions of motion are specified by the type of acceleration experienced by the particles.
Determination of velocity and position requires two successive integrations.

- 3 classes of motion may be defined for

: Acceleration given as a function of time, a  f t 


: Acceleration given as a function of position, a  f  x
: Acceleration given as a function of velocity, a  f v

11.5A Tangential and normal components


• Tangential and normal components in acceleration
▪ Velocity vector of particle
- The velocity of a particle is a vector tangent to the path of the particle.

▪ Acceleration vector of particle


- In general, the acceleration is not tangent to the path.
It is sometimes convenient to express the acceleration in terms of
tangential and normal components.

- et and etꞌ are tangential unit vectors for the particle path at P and Pꞌ.

When drawn with respect to the same origin, Δet = etꞌ - et and Δθ is
the angle between them.

- Tangential component of acceleration, at , reflects change of speed


and normal component, an , reflects change of direction.

- Tangential component may be positive or negative. Normal component always points toward center of
path curvature.
