Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisites
Basic courses in algebra and calculus, wave physics.Intended learning outcomes
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.
Course content
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.
Teaching and working methods
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.

Regulations (apply to LiU in its entirety)
The university is a government agency whose operations are regulated by legislation and ordinances, which include the Higher Education Act and the Higher Education Ordinance. In addition to legislation and ordinances, operations are subject to several policy documents. The Linköping University rule book collects currently valid decisions of a regulatory nature taken by the university board, the vice-chancellor and faculty/department boards.
LiU’s rule book for education at first-cycle and second-cycle levels is available at http://styrdokument.liu.se/Regelsamling/Innehall/Utbildning_pa_grund-_och_avancerad_niva.
