Technical mechanics

Technical mechanics is one of the basic scientific subjects, the study of which provides knowledge for understanding mechanical phenomena. The course goal is presentation of general methods of problem solving, used in analysis of industrial tasks, modelling processes and a search for optimal solutions in developing, implementing and operating the equipment.

The following course/module was developed at the Dnipro University of Technology (Dnipro, Ukraine).

Learning outcomes / Competencies

Construct and solve equilibrium equations of force systems, determine force factors and construct diagrams; construct and solve equations of motion for material bodies; determine kinematic characteristics of solid bodies in motion; use general theorems and principles of dynamics for analysis, mechanical processes in machines and devices; carry out engineering calculations for strength and rigidity under tension-compression, torsion and bending; apply the acquired knowledge for diagnostics and modelling of typical designs of parts, mechanisms and machines.
