Biomedical Engineering 230 - Statics and Dynamics

This course will develop an understanding of the principles of statics and dynamics. Specific topics covered in this course include force and moment vectors, resultants, principles of statics and free-body diagrams, applications to simple trusses, frames, and machines, properties of areas, second moments, internal forces in beams, laws of friction, principles of particle dynamics, mechanical systems and rigid-body dynamics, kinematics and dynamics of plane systems, and energy and momentum of two-dimensional bodies and systems.
