Mechanics 2 (Spring 2013) |
|||
| Course code : | BE-MEK2-U5 | ||
| ECTS Credits : | 5 | Status : | Compulsory |
| Revised : | 30/01 2013 | Written : | 29/01 2013 |
| Placement : | 2. semester | Hours per week : | 4 |
| Length : | 1 semester | Teaching Language : | Danish and English |
| Objective : | To provide the students with a fundamental understanding of dynamic phenomena in mechanical systems, and to apply the laws of mechanics to the analysis and design of engineering systems such as vehicles, mechanisms and satellites. The use of computer software and graphing calculators supports both of these aspects. | ||
| Principal Content : | Kinematics of particles and rigid bodies. Kinetic energy, linear and angular momentum. General equations of motion of particles and rigid bodies. Work-energy relations. The principle of impulse and momentum. Kinematics and kinetics of linkages and mechanisms. | ||
| Teaching method : | The teaching is based on “learning by doing”. There will be introductory and summing up lectures. Project work in small groups includes tutorial exercises, computer simulations and case studies. | ||
| Required prequisites : | none | ||
| Recommended prerequisites : | Mechanics 1. | ||
| Relations : | Projects 3-4, Mechanics 1, Mechanics 3, Mechanical Design 2 and Mathematics 1. | ||
| Type of examination : | Four hours written examination | ||
| External examiner : | External | ||
| Marking : | 7 step scale | ||
| Remarks : | This course is closely related to the projects in the 2nd and 3rd semesters, and is an integrated part of the study program “Engineering Design & Industrial Innovation” offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering. It is primarily for students enrolled in the program. | ||
| Teaching material : | - Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics in SI Units Pack, 12th edition, by R. C. Hibbeler, Pearson 2010. - Lecture notes on CampusNet. |
