Aim:
The purpose of the course is to give the students an understanding knowledge of the basic laws of classical mechanics, and ability to apply the laws in problems within engineering mechanics. After the course the student should be able to:
- Explain the difference between different idealized models of real bodies: particle, rigid body and deformable continuum.
- Define fundamental concepts in mechanics such as moment of a force, velocity, acceleration, linear momentum, angular momentum, linear impulse, angular impulse, power, mechanical work and energy.
- Be able to perform simpler derivations of theorems used in statics of rigid bodies and dynamics of a particle.
- Formulate and solve engineering problems within the scope of statics, kinematics and dynamics of particles, and be able to judge whether a calculated result is reasonable.
- Derive the governing differential equations for a mechanical system, and solve these numerically using MATLAB.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Basic courses in algebra and calculus, wave physics.
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
|
|
Supplementary courses:
Mechanical Engineering Y part 2 (Rigid body dynamics), Multibody Dynamics and Robotics, Models of Mechanics, Flight Dynamics Y, Analytical mechanics, Modern physics, Chaos and non-linear phenomena.
|
|
Organisation:
The lectures treat topics of principal importance, and might, apart from theory and examples, also contain clarifying experiments. During the classes, the students strengthen their ability to solve problems independently. A computer assignment is mandatory, where the students write a short report.
|
|
Course contents:
Particle kinematics (velocity and acceleration, curvilinear motion in natural, cartesian, and polar coordinates). Particle kinetics (laws of motion, power, work and energy, impulse and momentum, impact, vibrations, central force motion). Statics for rigid bodies, center of mass.
