TMME17 Engineering Mechanics, 9 ECTS-points
/Mekanik Ii/

Advancement level:
B

Aim:
To familiarize the student with the basic laws of classical mechanics and provide the skills necessary to apply the laws to concrete mechanical problems independently.

Prerequisites:
Upper secondary school mathematics and physics, Algebra, Calculus.

Supplementary courses:
Mechanics of Materials, Mechanical Heat And Flow Theory, Mechanical Components, Automatic Engineering, Industrial Engineering.

Course organization:
The course is divided into two sections; part 1 is given in the form of lectures and classes, while part 2 is in the form of large seminars.

Course content:
Part 1. Statics: two and three dimensional force systems, couples, reduction of force systems, equilibrium and momentum equilibrium, center of gravity, Coulomb’s law of friction. Particle dynamics: Newton’s laws of motion, gravity, velocity and acceleration in cartesian, polar and natural coordinates, work and energy, impulse and momentum, impact. Part 2: Linear vibrations. Rigid body dynamics in plane: Velocity and acceleration with absolute and relative motion, instantaneous center, Euler’s equations of motion, work and energy, linear and angular impulse and momentum.

Course literature:
