Getting introduced to basic concepts and principles of mechanics as a part of physics and as a fundamental engineering discipline. Mastering basic methods of the analysis and solution of engineering problems.

At the end of the course students will be capable to perform a rational approach to the problems of classical mechanics. This assumes formulation of physical and mathematical model, application of appropriate mathematical methods (differential and integral calculus) for its solution, as well as the analysis of the results in the sense of their mathematical and physical contents. This knowledge is supposed to be used as a conceptual basis in other engineering disciplines.

Units of measurement, physical measurement, and vectors. Rectilinear motion of a particle. Curvilinear motion of a particle. Newton’s law of motion. Application of Newton’s laws. Work and kinetic energy. Potential energy and conservation of energy. Momentum, impulse and collision. Rotational motion of rigid bodies. Rotational dynamics. Equilibrium and elasticity. Basics of fluid mechanics. Gravitation. Oscillatory movement. Computer simulation of dynamic systems.

Lectures comprise theoretical background of certain topic, as well as illustrative examples. Exercise classes are consisted of the application of theoretical knowledge and development of the methods of analysis to selected problems. Wherever it is possible, the problems of mechanics are illustrated by computer simulations, or supported by video clips of real processes.
