Mecânica Aplicada II

The objective of this course is to provide the students with scientific knowledge in the field of dynamics (kinematics + kinetics) whether applied to the material point or rigid body. In line with the theoretical background acquired in lectures, the students should be able to solve analytically a list of standardized problems collected from the literature and others proposed by the professors. According with the given fundamental methods to solve problems in dynamics the student should be able to derive the governing equations of motion. Furthermore, he must realize the advantages and drawbacks of each method. He should develop his ability to discern what method is efficient the most to be applied to a specific physical problem in dynamics since each method has its own specificity, applicability and degree of complexity.
