Mechanics

Kinematics: position, velocity and acceleration; relative motion analysis and applications for particles and rigid bodies. Dynamics: the translational and rotational motion of free and constrained forces, their origin and significance; equation of motion, the principle of impulse and momentum, principles of work and energy, analysis of planar motion, fundamentals of mechanical vibrations. Strength of materials: stress and strain in 2D and 3D space, Hookes law, shear force and bending moments, moments of area, deflection of beams, equilibrium and compatibility equations, stress and strain transformation, Mohr circle, simple failure criteria, elastic instability - buckling.
