TMME13 Mechanics - Dynamics, 6 ECTS credits.
/Mekanik - dynamik/

For:   DPU  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 54
Rec. self-study hours: 106

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Mechanical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G1

Aim:
To give the student familarity with the fundamental laws of classical mechanics and the skill to independently apply these laws to engineering problems. After the course, the student should be able to:
  • explain the properties of a force.
  • define basic concepts of mechanics such as equilibrium, velocity,acceleration, angular velocity, angular acceleration, momentum, angular momentum, moment of inertia, work, energy.
  • write down expressions for and compute the above quantities for engineering problems.
  • draw free body diagrams, formulate kinematical relations, apply Euler's laws and thereby find the ordinary differential equations governing the motion of a body.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Basic courses in linear algebra and calculus.

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:
Road Vehicle Dynamics, Mechanics Second Course, Vibration Analysis of Structures, Models of Mechanics, Multi Body Dynamics and Robotics, Biomechanics, Automatic Control, Solid Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Machine Elements.

Organisation:
The course is given as a series of lectures and classes.

Course contents:
Newton's laws of motion. Newtons law of gravitation.
Velocity and acceleration in cartesian and plane polar coordinates. Linear oscillations with one degree of freedom. Momentum and moment of momentum. The moment law for a particle. Work. Kinetic energy. The potentials of a spring and a parallell force field. Coriolis' equation.
Kinematic relations for a rigid body. The moment of momentum for a rigid body.
The inertia matrix. Eulers' equations of motion for a rigid body. plane parallell motion. Rolling.
