Explores the triumph of determinism in modern mechanics and the methodology of scientific development, with practical exercises on estimating surgical mask usage and analyzing atomic bomb energy.
Covers non-inertial reference frames, constraints, and continuous systems, including angular velocity, linear and rotational acceleration, and modeling of merry-go-rounds, ropes, and pulleys.
Covers Classical Laminate Theory for solving mechanics problems with multiple material layers, discussing displacements, strains, stresses, and equilibrium.
