The course “Technical mechanics” provides the students with knowledge of basic axioms, laws and principles of theoretical and applied mechanics of moving bodies.
The course “Technical mechanics II” is subdivided into two branches: kinematics and kinetics. Determination of the kinematic quantities is necessary for further dynamic solving. Kinematics is aimed at proper formulation of motion, i.e. the students have to be able to determine how to set the position of a point, rigid body, or a system of rigid bodies, in any instant of time. Kinematics of a particle, planar kinematics and a three-dimensional rigid body motion are discussed in the introduction to the course. The graphical and numerical methods of the solution of planar mechanism motion are treated. Step by step the students are led through the following areas of dynamics: basic axioms, general dynamics of a particle, dynamics of a system of particles, dynamics of rigid bodies, moments and products of inertia of rigid bodies and dynamics of a system of rigid bodies. the fundamentals of analytical dynamics, linear vibration of systems. The sequence of presentations is following: work and energy, impulse and momentum and the equations of motion for mechanisms. The methods of vector mechanics as well as the methods of analytical mechanics are considered Finally, description and the fundamental characteristics of linear vibration are treated.
