Motion and Dynamic Analysis using Solid Modeling

Practical approach to study of motion and dynamic analysis of machine components and assemblies in two or three dimensions. Uses solid modeling software to analyze the forces, moments and dynamic loads for parts and entire assemblies in motion. Topics include stress and strain during motion, kinematics, kinetics, drop tests in two and three dimensions, frequency analysis, buckling, dynamic fatigue and finite element analysis, time history of motion, harmonics, and vibrations.
