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 calculus and algebra

Intended learning outcomes

The purpose of the course is to give the students an understanding knowledge of the basic laws of classical mechanics, and to give them the ability to independently apply these laws on concrete mechanical problems. After the course the student should be able to:

define the fundamental concepts used in mechanics as presented in the course, such as force, moment, static equilibrium and center of mass and center of gravity.
perform free-body diagrams of bodies
calculate forces and do equilibrium analysis for a mechanical system in static rest.
analyse mechanical system with friction.
derive some of the relations which are included in the course.
interpret and solve practical engineering problems.
identify obviously unreasonable results

Course content

Statics and vectors: Introduction. Review of elementary vectors. Reduction of force system. Equilibrium of rigid bodies. Distributed forces. Trusses. Friction. Centroids. Moments of inertia of areas.
Shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for statically determinate beams.

Teaching and working methods

The lectures cover important sections and can include not only theory but also illustrative experiments. Problem solving is assigned in connection with lectures.
