Technical Mechanics

Summary

The subject acquaints the students with the basic terms, principles and
approaches of the mechanics of rigid bodies. It contains two parts - statics,
kinematics and dynamics. Statics acquaints the students with the term force.
They learn to carry out the operations with forces. They acquaint with two
basic effects of the force - the force and the moment of the force. They learn
to solve the problem of the resultant force and the problem of the force
equilibrium. They master the basic approaches in investigation of the force
application on the rigid bodies via the free-body diagram. They acquaint with
the internal forces, stresses the specific class of bodies - beams. They learn
to solve the joint forces, transmitted between single bodies, composing the
rigid body structure. They acquaint with the problems of friction. They learn
to investigate the position of the centre of gravity. In dynamics the students
acquaint with the basic quantities of the motion and the relations among them.
They acquaint with the term degree of freedom as the basic unit, quantifying
the motion of arbitrary subject. They learn to investigate the motion of the
particle, the body and the mechanism. They acquaint with the basic relationship
between the motion and the forces as its cause. This relationship, 2nd Newtons
law - law of the force, they learn to apply to the investigation of the motion
of the mass particle, the body and the mechanism. They acquaint with subsequent
physical quantities of mechanics and the laws of its variation. They acquaint
with the geometry of the mass, with the quantities describing the inertia
effects of the mass and with its influence to the motion of the body.
