Engineering Mechanics III (Dynamics)

Only static problems are dealt with in the Technical Mechanics I and II lectures. The aim of Engineering Mechanics III is to deal with the motion (dynamics) of rigid bodies, as we have to design rotating machines, gears or complex kinematics, etc. in technical applications. In addition to the pure description of kinematics, the momentum and angular momentum theorems are explained in absolute and relative systems and energy considerations are dealt with. Special attention is paid to the gyroscope equations.
