About the Course

This course is an advanced study of bodies in motion as applied to engineering systems and structures. We will study the dynamics of rigid bodies in 3D motion. This will consist of both the kinematics and kinetics of motion. Kinematics deals with the geometrical aspects of motion describing position, velocity, and acceleration, all as a function of time. Kinetics is the study of forces acting on these bodies and how it affects their motion. --------------------------- Recommended Background: To be successful in the course you will need to have mastered basic engineering mechanics concepts and to have successfully completed my course entitled Engineering Systems in Motion: Dynamics of Particles and Bodies in 2D Motion.” We will apply many of the engineering fundamentals learned in those classes and you will need those skills before attempting this course. --------------------------- Suggested Readings: While no specific textbook is required, this course is designed to be compatible with any standard engineering dynamics textbook. You will find a book like this useful as a reference and for completing additional practice problems to enhance your learning of the material. --------------------------- The copyright of all content and materials in this course are owned by either the Georgia Tech Research Corporation or Dr. Wayne Whiteman.

It really changed my perception of viewing things around me. Dr. Whiteman is an expert at teaching mechanics. I recommend this course for all the non-circuit branches of engineering.

Thanks a lot to such a helpful platform to have access to such competent & great teachers for them who don't have so in their university but they are passionate and curios to learn

Great course indeed. Provides one with a great sense of appreciation of the rigors of 3D Dynamics. Its a lot of hard work but a great feeling indeed after successfully completing each week. The recommended text is actually "prescribed" for this course since all the practice problems for this course are taken from the recommended text. Its actually advisable to get a copy of the recommended text right from the beginning of the 2D course. That way one is like likely to find both courses very exciting. I got my copy quite late but I still enjoyed most of Prof Whiteman's videos in both the 2D course and this 3D course. The online tutor Joe Kostas was also VERY HELPFUL. Not only did he respond to all my questions but he did so within a day and sometimes within a few hours! Thank you Joe!

HI everyone,

This course is one of the most difficult I have done in my life about mechanics of materials. My purpose of this course was to learn the fundamentals topics of Dynamics for engineers because this semester of study, I am going to take dynamics in my university, I am civil engineering student. I am very grateful to Dr. Wayne Whiteman to bring this course for all students around the world. I hope you and your institution can continue to implement more online courses in this platform of different subjects.

Best Wishes,

Delving into the complexities of the spatial movement has been an enriching journey, providing invaluable insights into the nuanced world of 3D dynamics an advanced study of bodies in motion as applied to engineering systems and structures. Grateful for the opportunity to expand and recall my knowledge in this domain and to bring this expertise to the forefront of innovative engineering solutions. Professor’s exceptional teaching illuminated complex concepts, paving the way for a robust understanding.

Thank you for the great series of courses, Dr. Whiteman. The explanations are clear, the topics are well structured, and the videos are dense and contain only relevant information.

I recommend all four courses to everyone who is interested in mechanics, wants to understand how things work and make them work better. And remember, engineers make the World))

Simply, awesome !! I love the way the professor explains things and I love the fact that the examples used in the course correspond to real life applications. I have a suggestion, which is maybe in the future you guys can make a course about modeling some robotic configurations and do exercises in matlab, that would the next level of awesomeness :DDD

Great and useful course! It is taught in a very systematic and mathematic way. I use the concepts of this course every day. If it had demonstrated the rotation transformation concept (in addition to the geometrical point of view) also from a linear algebra view, it would have been much better.

Dr. Wayne Whiteman is one of the best professors I have ever known. His way of explaining the concepts is so unique and easy that anyone can understand him. Also after taking this course I can say that I am feeling very much confident about my knowledge of mechanics. Nice course to take.

Excellent lectures by Dr. Whiteman! He is exceptional at explaining the concepts clearly and also maintains non-ambiguous notations. I just hoped there was more advanced information pertaining to the energy methods
