Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After the course, the student will be able to:

  • Apply the equilibrium equations to find the support reactions and internal forces inside truss structures or beams.
  • Describe mathematically the motion of a rigid body, and calculate the forces/moments causing this motion.
  • Use the principles of mechanics to solve engineering problems involving a rigid body in equilibrium or in motion.
