Objectives of the Course

The purpose of this course is to share the basic subjects of Civil Engineering and includes basic information for machine dynamics, design and mechanics. Kinematics and kinetic analysis of moving objects. Understands the energy of the object. Teaches what kind of movement the object under force.

Course Content

Kinematics of particles in rectilinear and plane motion. Kinetics of particles: equations of motion; work and energy; impulse and momentum.

Assoc. Prof. Mehmet Eren UZ
Learning Outcomes
1.Understand dynamics, i.e. the motion of bodies without reference to the forces that cause motion.
2.Understand kinetics, which deals with the relations of unbalanced forces and resulting changes in motion.
3.Comprehend the three basic principal methods of analysis: force-mass-acceleration, work- energy, and impulse-momentum.
4.Apply dynamics to simple practical problems found in contemporary engineering situations.
5.To have the knowledge of the momentum results in case of impact of objects
