  YOU WILL LEARN | Recommended  homework
  problems | 
| What is a rigid body? Properties of inertias (mass, center of mass and mass moments of
  inertia): development of equations. Parallel axis formula and restrictions to
  its application.  Example: determine mass center and moment of inertia of a physical assembly. Steps in procedure. Use published Tables containing useful mass properties | Appendix
  C.2, C.4, C.6  | |
| Motion of a rigid body on a plane:
  derivation of force and moment EOMs in Cartesian coordinates. Vector
  analysis. Reduced forms for the moment EOM: about mass center, about fixed
  point in inertial space. Applications. 1-DOF torsional vibrations: definition
  of torsional stiffness, natural frequency, and similitude to response of
  1-DOF M-K-C system. Fixed axis rotation: simple rotor on bearings, pulleys
  connected by belts, gear transmission  | 5.1, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 | |
| Kinetic energy of rigid body in planar motion
  (translation and rotation). Examples of fixed axis rotation: derivation of equations
  from CME: rotor on bearings, torsional vibrations, pulleys connected by
  belts. Same examples as seen from conservation of
  mechanical energy | Work
  5.1, 5.2 (without viscous damping) and derive the EOM using CME. Rework 5.4,
  5.5 using CME | |
| Nonlinear EOMs for compound pendulum
  connected to (linear) spring and viscous damper: FBDs,
  application of force and moment equations, geometric nonlinearities at linear
  element (K, C) connections, linearization of EOM about SEP. EOM derived from
  CME. Preload in spring elements. Finding natural frequencies and motions for
  bars and plates connected to springs and dampers. | 5.7, 5.9, 5.10 | |
| More compound pendulum
  applications: nonlinear spring force –displacement relations and
  linearization of EOMS for motions about SEP.  Rigid body motion with prescribed acceleration of
  pivot support: FBDs,
  application of force and moment equations. Equations for reaction forces,
  interpretation of results | 5.21, 5.22, 5.24 5.28, 5.30, 5.31 | |
| Motion of cylinders rolling w/o slipping. FBDs,
  identification of forces and rolling constraint, derivation of EOM.
  Definition of Coulomb (dry friction) forces. When will the cylinder slip and
  not roll? EOM derived from CME. EOM for imbalanced cylinder rolling down an
  inclined plane, oscillations of a half cylinder on a flat plane: prediction
  and measurement of natural frequency. | 5.33,
  5.34, 5.36 | |
| More applications of rolling w/o slipping motion: cylinder restrained by spring, cylinder rolling
  inside a concave surface: FBDs, identification of
  forces and rolling constraint, derivation of EOM, linearization and
  identification of natural frequency. EOM derived from CME. Example: pulley
  assembly connected to spring element | 5.32, 5.37, 5.38 | |
