Chapter 1- Introduction to Dynamics
The tallest skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere, One World Trade Center is a
prominent feature of the New York City skyline. From its foundation to its structural
components and mechanical systems, the design and operation of the tower is
based on the fundamentals of engineering mechanics.
15 Introduction to Dynamics
• Dynamics includes:
Kinematics: study of the geometry of motion. Relates displacement,
velocity, acceleration, and time without reference to the cause of
motion. F
thrust
Fdrag Fgravity
Flift
Kinetics: study of the relations existing between the forces acting on
a body, the mass of the body, and the motion of the body. Kinetics is
used to predict the motion caused by given forces or to determine the
forces required to produce a given motion.
16 Introduction to Dynamics
17 Basic terms
Essential basic terms to be understood
Statics: dealing with the equilibrium of a rigid-body at
rest
Rigid body: the relative movement between its parts
are negligible
Dynamics: dealing with a rigid-body in motion
Length: applied to the linear dimension of a straight
line or curved line
Area: the two dimensional size of shape or surface
18 Basic terms
Essential basic terms to be understood
Volume: the three dimensional size of the space
occupied by substance
Force: the action of one body on another whether it’s a
push or a pull force
Mass: the amount of matter in a body
Weight: the force with which a body is attracted toward
the centre of the Earth
Particle: a body of negligible dimension
