IntroductionMechanics
Mechanics = science which
describes and predicts the
conditions of rest or motion of
bodies under the action of forces
It is divided into three parts:
1. Mechanics of rigid bodies
2. Mechanics of deformable bodies
3. Mechanics of fluidsMohammad Suliman Abuhaiba,Ph.D., P.E.

Introduction
Mechanics of rigid bodies issubdivided into:
1. Statics: deals with bodies at rest
2. Dynamics: deals with bodies in
motion

Introduction
Dynamics is subdivided into:
1. Kinematics
study of geometry of motion
relating displacement, velocity,
acceleration, and time without referenceto the cause of motion
2. Kinetics
study of the relation existing between the
forces acting on a body, the mass of thebody, and the motion of the body
Mohammad Suliman Abuhaiba,Ph.D., P.E.

Introduction
A dynamic study could be done ontwo levels:
1. Particle
an object whose size and shape can
be ignored when studying its motion.
2. Rigid Body
a collection of particles that remain at
fixed distance from each other at all
times and under all conditions of
loading. Mohammad Suliman Abuhaiba,Ph.D., P.E.

Three classes of motion may be defined:
1.Acceleration is a function of time, a = f(t)
2.Acceleration is a function of position, a = f(x)
3.Acceleration is a function of velocity, a = f(v)

Brake mechanism used to reduce gun recoil consists
of piston attached to barrel moving in fixed cylinder
filled with oil. As barrel recoils with initial velocity
v0, piston moves and oil is forced through orifices in
piston, causing piston and cylinder to decelerate at
rate proportional to their velocity; a = -kv
Determine v(t), x(t), and v(x).

Sample Problem 11.6A subway car leaves station A; it gains speed at
the rate of 4 ft/s2 for 6 s and then at the rate of 6
ft/s2 until it has reached the speed of 48 ft/s. The
car maintains the same speed until it approaches
(car does not reach B yet) station B; brakes are
then applied, giving the car a constant
deceleration and bringing it to a stop in 6 s. The
total running time from A to B is 40 s. Draw the a−t,
v−t, and x−t curves, and determine the distance
between stations A and B.
