MechanicsLaajuus (5 cr)

Objective

The course deals with statics and dynamics of structures. The central objective of the statics part of the course is to determine those prerequisites which keep bodies in equilibrium and which forces between stressed structures affect each other. After completing the dynamics part of the course the student has the readiness to determine kinesthetic space of mechanism bodies and to calculate power effects caused by acceleration.

Content

- Basic concepts of statics: power, moments, torsion couple, equivalent power system, resultant of power system- body equilibrium- stress patterns of beams- forces between beam structures and mechanisms- basic concepts of dynamics: position, speed, accele
