Dynamics (physics) 226020 224848118 2008-07-10T18:09:10Z Numbo3-bot 7118326 robot Adding: [[eo:Dinamiko]] In [[physics]], '''dynamics''' is the branch of [[classical mechanics]] that is concerned with the motion of bodies. It is divided into two branches called [[kinematics]] and [[kinetics (physics)|kinetics]]. Kinematics is concerned with the space-time relationship of a given motion without considering the origins of [[force (physics)|force]]s. In other words, it only deals with the geometric aspect of motion. Kinetics is concerned with the motion of bodies under the action of given forces. On the other hand, [[statics]] is concerned with rigid bodies at rest. In [[quantum physics]], dynamics may refer to how forces are quantized, as in [[quantum electrodynamics]] or [[quantum chromodynamics]]. ==Branches== <!-- * [[particle dynamics]] - is this really the correct term? --> * [[rigid body dynamics]] * [[soft body dynamics]] * [[fluid dynamics]] ** [[hydrodynamics]] ** [[gas dynamics]] *** [[aerodynamics]] == Elementary Principles == *[[Variational principle]]s and [[Joseph Louis Lagrange|Lagrange]]'s equations *[[two-body problem|Two-body central force problem]] *[[Rigid body]] (in [[kinematics]]) *Small [[oscillation]]s *[[William Rowan Hamilton|Hamilton]]'s equations *[[Canonical transformation]]s *[[Hamilton-Jacobi equation|Hamilton-Jacobi Theory]] *[[Newton's laws of motion]] *[[Special theory of relativity]] ==Other fundamental engineering topics== * [[Analysis of resistive circuits]] * [[Engineering economics]] * [[Fluid dynamics]] * [[Heat transfer]] * [[Materials science]] * [[Molecular dynamics]] ** [[Strength of materials]] * [[Statics]] * [[Thermodynamics]] == External links == *[http://www.societyofrobots.com/mechanics_dynamics.shtml Basic Dynamics for Robotics] [[Category:Dynamics]] [[ar:علم التحريك]] [[be:Дынаміка]] [[bs:Dinamika]] [[bg:Динамика]] [[ca:Dinàmica]] [[cs:Dynamika]] [[da:Dynamik]] [[de:Dynamik (Physik)]] [[et:Dünaamika]] [[el:Δυναμική]] [[es:Dinámica]] [[eo:Dinamiko]] [[fa:دینامیک]] [[fr:Dynamique (physique)]] [[gl:Dinámica]] [[ko:동역학]] [[hr:Dinamika]] [[io:Veloceso]] [[ia:Dynamica]] [[it:Dinamica (fisica)]] [[he:דינמיקה (מכניקה)]] [[ht:Dinamik]] [[ms:Dinamik]] [[nl:Dynamica]] [[ja:動力学]] [[no:Dynamikk (mekanikk)]] [[pl:Dynamika (fizyka)]] [[pt:Dinâmica]] [[ro:Dinamică]] [[ru:Динамика]] [[sk:Dynamika (fyzika)]] [[sl:Dinamika]] [[sr:Динамика (физика)]] [[fi:Dynamiikka]] [[ta:இயக்க விசையியல்]] [[th:พลศาสตร์]] [[vi:Động lực học]] [[tr:Dinamik (fizik)]] [[uk:Динаміка]] [[yi:דינאמיק]] [[zh:動力學]]
