Course offered for

  • Design and Product Development, M Sc in Engineering

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 linear algebra and calculus.

Intended learning outcomes

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.
  • Course content

    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.

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.
