Eligibility:
In order to be eligible for a first cycle course the applicant needs to fulfil the general and specific entry requirements of the programme(s) that has the course included in the study programme.
Course specific prerequisites
Tools of Engineering Physics, Linear algebra and geometry, Introductory mathematical analysis, Real analysis and Mechanics 1 or corresponding course.
Aim
- To provide a good understanding of the basic concepts of mechanics, that provides a basis for further physics studies.
- To provide training in the translation of a physics problem into a mathematical model, and to analyse this model.
Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
Kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies - the student should use their understanding of particle systems to be able to derive and apply the laws of rotational and translational motion.
Motion in non-inertial systems - The student will gain an understanding of fictitious forces, in particular centrifugal and Coriolis forces in the rotating reference system.
The theory of harmonic motion - the student should be able to apply their knowledge of mathematics to the damped and undamped, free as well as forced harmonic motion.
Analytical Mechanics - The student should have been offered an initial acquaintance with analytical mechanics. The student will be able to study simple particle system using the Lagrange formalism.
Develop communication - Being able to present the basic mechanical concept in writing.
Overall - Knowledge of all the above areas shall be used in problem solving. The student should be able to identify the relevant information in a mechanics and then formulate the problem mathematically using tools from mechanics and mathematics.
Content
Plane kinematics of rigid bodies
Plane kinetics of rigid bodies
Rotating systems and inertial forces
Three-dimensional kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies
Vibration and time response
Analytical mechanics
Organisation
Lectures, problem solving sessions and project consisting of homework problems
Literature
Announced on the course web page.
Examination
Written exam and a project consisting of homework problems.
In order to pass it is compulsory to pass some homework problems during the course, and to obtain a pass on a similar problem which is part of the written exam. During the written examination at most one hour can be spent to solve the project related problem.
The written exam consists of six problems, one of them examining only the project. The remaining five problems are the foundation for the mark on the whole course.
