  • Course Description
    This course provides a fundamental knowledge of dynamics, including kinematics and kinetics of particle, system of particles, and rigid bodies in planar and three-dimensional motion. A systematic approach, namely vector analysis and modeling procedure (VAMP), is introduced to precisely describe linear and angular positions, velocities, accelerations, forces, and torques for generating a set of equations of motion, without missing any terms. Other modeling of energy equations, momentum equations, impact of particles and rigid bodies, and Euler equations* are also addressed (*optional).
  • Course Objective
    Not only are students trained to have the ability of modeling dynamic systems in terms of equations of motion, but they are also experienced with engineering insight of physical laws
  • Course Requirement
    Calculus
  • Expected weekly study hours before and/or after class
  • Office Hour
    Please make appointment with TAs first for they are familiar with the solution steps of the selected problems.
    *This office hour requires an appointment

    Bonus

    Bonus up to 3% of the semester score is possible if the student take part in making animation and simulation for the course materials. Note the files will be used for future semesters.


    1. NTU recommends an upper limit of 20% for A+ grades. This is not a mandatory requirement. Instructors may adjust the percentage based on course requirements. Instructors teaching required courses are particularly encouraged to follow this guideline.
    2. NTU uses a letter grade system for assessment. The grade percentage ranges and the single-subject grade conversion table in the NATIONAL TAIWAN UNIVERSITY Regulations Governing Academic Grading are for reference only. Instructors may adjust the percentage ranges according to the grade definitions. For more information, see the Assessment for Learning Section。
