Course information
Annotation of Course

This course provides a comprehensive study of mechanics, focusing on the fundamental principles and concepts. It covers the object of mechanics, including idealizations and the fundamental axioms, laws, and notions that form the basis of this field. The course explores particles, rigid bodies, and mechanical systems, as well as the concepts of force, couple, moment, and link. It delves into forces in both two-dimensional and three-dimensional space, emphasizing the importance of free-body diagrams. The equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies is examined, along with the consideration of distributed loads and the concept of the gravity center. The course also covers the topic of friction.In addition to statics, the course introduces the basic principles of kinematics, including velocity, speed, acceleration, and path. Equations of motion are discussed, and the study progresses to kinetics, addressing the motion of particles and rigid bodies. Differential equations of motion are explored, along with the fundamental theorems of kinetics. The course also provides an introduction to analytical mechanics. To successfully complete the course, students are required to attend a minimum of 70% of the scheduled practical exercises and 80% of the laboratory works. This ensures active engagement and practical application of the concepts learned throughout the course. Theoretical lectures are mandatory for first-cycle I-III year full-time students. More than half of the lectures must be attended during the semester.

Aim of Course

Studying mechanics involves gaining a deep understanding of various aspects. Firstly, it is important to grasp the fundamental principles of statics and dynamics, which govern the behavior of mechanical objects under the influence of forces. By exploring the general notions of mechanics and employing solution methods for statical, kinematical, and dynamical problems of rigid body mechanics, one can develop the necessary skills to solve practical problems in this field. Acquiring knowledge about the behavior of mechanical objects under known boundary and initial conditions is crucial in this process. By approaching mechanics in a systematic and study-oriented manner, one can effectively acquire and assimilate the required knowledge.
