DESCRIPTION

The main objective of this unit is to develop in students the ability to analyse engineering dynamics problems in a simple and logical mannerfrom several basic principles. The primarily focus of the unit will be the kinematics and kinetics of particles. It will extend the fundamental concepts of Newton's Second Law of Motion developed by students in college level physics. The unit will also introduce fundamental concepts such as vectors, work, energy and power. The unit is a pre-requisite for KNE212 Mechanics and Structures, a core unit to Civil, Mechanical, Mechatronic and Geotechnical specialisations.

Topics include: Vectors, Kinematics of particles: Rectilinear motion, Curvilinear motion, Newton's second law, Energy and momentum methods. Friction. Systems of Particles. Mass moments of inertia.

WEIGHT:  12.5%

ASSESSMENT: Examination 60%, Assignments and Tests 25%, Laboratory 15%.

TEACHING PATTERN: 3 Lectures and 1 tutorial per week in Semester 2, 18 hours laboratory work and field trips.

Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.

Campus - H Hobart, L Launceston, W Burnie. Study Centre - V Sydney, R Rozelle. Distance units may also have a campus identifier of I Isolated, N Interstate, O Overseas. Units delivered in Transnational Education (TNE) Programs have a campus identifier of A Hangzhou, F Fuzhou, G Shanghai, J Indonesia, K KDU Malaysia, Q Kuwait or Z New Zealand.

Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units - campuses A, F, G, J, K, Q and Z click here for more information.
