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
Algebra, Calculus.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 independently apply the laws on concrete mechanical problems. After the course the student should:
- Know the definitions of the fundamental concepts used in mechanics as presented in the course, such as force, couple, equilibrium, mass center, velocity, acceleration, linear momentum, angular momentum, mass moment of inertia, linear impulse, angular impulse, power, work and energy.
- Be able to define and compute the quantities above in situations in engineering mechanics.
- Be able to compute the forces and couples on a mechanical system in equilibrium.
- Be able to apply the Free-Body Diagram technique, formulate kinematic relations, formulate the Newton and Euler’s laws of motion for practical problems of the character treated during the course.
- Be able to prove simpler results that resemble those presented in the course.
- Be able to apply the laws treated in the course in order to explain, in qualitative terms, the outcome of mechanical experiments.
- Be able to judge whether a calculated result is reasonable.
Course content
- Part 1. Statistics: two- and three-dimensional force systems, couples, reduction of force systems, static equilibrium, center of gravity, Coulomb's law of friction, belt friction. Dynamics of a particle: Newton's laws of motion, velocity and acceleration in rectangular and curvilinear coordinates, work--energy and impulse--momentum principles, impact, vibrations.
- Part 2. Rigid body dynamics: kinematics (method of relative velocity and acceleration, instant center of velocity), absolute and relative derivatives of vectors, kinetics (Euler's law of motion, work--energy and impulse--momentum principles) and applications (impact, gyroscopic motion, dynamically unbalanced bodies). A computer assignment (formulation and numerical solution of the governing equations of a mechanical system).
Teaching and working methods
The course is given as lectures and classes.
The course runs over the entire autumn semester.
Examination
| TEN2 | Written examination | 5 credits | U, 3, 4, 5 |
| TEN1 | Written examination | 5 credits | U, 3, 4, 5 |
An examination is held after each subcourse to assess the student’s knowledge. The examinations are designed in a problem solving format, with a maximum score of 15 points. 6 points are passing.
Grades

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.
