(Ebook) Real life Examples in Dynamics by Eann A. Patterson (ed.) ISBN 9780984214204, 0984214208

These real life examples and supporting materials are designed to enhance the teaching of
a junior level course in dynamics, increase the accessibility of the principles, and raise the
appeal of the subject to students from diverse backgrounds.
This booklet is intended to be used by instructors and is written in a style that addresses
the instructor, however this is not intended to exclude students who should find the notes
and examples interesting, stimulating and hopefully illuminating, particularly when their
instructor is not utilizing them. In the interest of brevity and clarity of presentation,
standard derivations and definitions are not included since these are readily available in
textbooks which this booklet is not intended to replace but rather to supplement and
enhance. Similarly, it is anticipated that these lessons plans can be used to generate
lectures/lessons that supplement those covering the fundamentals of each topic.
It is assumed that students have acquired a knowledge and understanding of topics
usually found in a Sophomore level course in Statics, including free-body diagrams and
efficiency.
