AAE 20300 - Aeromechanics I


Credit Hours: 3.00.  Fundamental concepts and principles of bodies in motion, with applications to aeronautical and astronautical problems. Subjects covered include rectilinear motion, curvilinear motion, rotation, and plane motion. The static equilibrium and quasistatic equilibrium situations are treated as a part of motion in which the acceleration is zero. Problems involving impact, separation, work, and energy are considered.  
Learning Outcomes
1. Compute velocities and accelerations for any type of motion.
2. Compute angular velocities and accelerations of rigid bodies.
3. Model forces and apply Newton’s Laws in particle dynamic problems.
4. Model forces and solve general statics of bodies problems.
Credits: 3.00
