Teaching

The bachelor course provides students basic knowledge on mechanics of rigid solids. Three main parts are covered Statics is about equilibrium.

• Students can simplify a system of multiple forces into an equivalent system with two components: a resultant force vector and a resultant moment vector. acting at a chosen point.
• Students can draw the free body diagram.
• Students can calculate reaction forces.

Kinematics describes the motion of points, single bodies and system of bodies, without considering the cause of motion (e.g. forces and torques)

• Students can determine the vector of acceleration, vector of velocity and the trajectory of points.
• Students can determine the motion of points within a rigid body in general planar motion.

 Kinetics describes the relation between motion and its cause.

• Students can derive the equations of motion for a system of one or two degrees of freedom, using the following methods: D’Alembert’s principle, Principle of virtual work, Lagrangian method.

The bachelor course provides students basic knowledge on mechanics of deformable solids. After the course, students can do the followings

• Perform calculation on strain tensor and stress tensor
• Apply the Hooke’s law for linear elasticity of isotropic materials
• Apply the Airy stress method to solve 2D linear elastic problems.
• Apply the analytical method for thin plates analysis using Kirchhoff theory.
