My Experience with ME 230 What Is Dynamics? The study of dynamics is directed toward the understanding and description of the various quantities involved in the motion of bodies. Why Is Dynamics Important?
It has many practical applications. It is fundamental to advanced topics, such as fluid mechanics,

structural dynamics, or vibration. Challenges of this Course


It is very difficult to visualize motion of particles and rigid bodies. Problems usually dont seem to be related to theories at all. Everything you learned in statics wont work except the free-body

diagrams and friction. Mistakes Often Made


It is similar to what we learned in Physics. So it is no big deal. Not ready for the first exam and do a really bad job. Not doing the homework so that the final grade is few tenths of a

point short. How to Get a Good Grade?


Come to the lectures and read the class notes. Have a good study habit. Do homework problems yourself. Review lecture notes and do some problems before any exam.
