12: Rigid Body Kinematics
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
- 12.2: Fixed Axis Rotation Systems (Scalar)
- Introduction to rotational kinematics: angular position, velocity and acceleration equations; determining angular velocity and acceleration of a point on a body rotating about a fixed axis. Includes worked examples.
- 12.4: Belt- and Gear-Driven Systems
- Rotational kinematics of belt-driven pulley systems, simple gear systems, and compound gear trains. Includes worked examples.
- 12.5: Absolute Motion Analysis
- Absolute motion analysis of extended bodies undergoing general planar motion. Includes worked examples.
- 12.6: Relative Motion Analysis
- Relative motion analysis of extended bodies undergoing general planar motion. Includes worked examples.
- 12.8: Rotating Frame Analysis
- Discussion of reference frames that translate and/or rotate with the motion of an object; derivation of kinematics equations for rotating frame analysis (analysis of multiple moving objects that are not pinned together). Includes worked examples. **Video lecture not yet available.**
