Learning outcome

The course shall give basic knowledge in the dynamics of a system that may consist of springs, dampers and rigid bodies. The course provides a basis for advanced courses in dynamics. Dynamics has the following learning goals: Knowledge: The candidate will get knowledge of: - Definitions of quantities in dynamics - Law of forces and moments – Velocities and accelerations in Cartesian and polar coordinates – Work and energy principles – Elastic and plastic impact - Relative motion – Vibration theory with 1- og 2 degrees of freedom. Skills: The candidate will be skilled on: - Establish equations for the dynamics in simple systems using kinematics and the basic laws in kinetics – Solve the equations and evaluate the results. General competence: The candidate have competence in: - Basic principles in dynamics – Perform simple calculations by hand within the framework of the curriculum of the course. - Be able to use physical insight to analyze and solve statics and strength of materials problems within the framework of the syllabus of the course

Learning methods and activities

Lectures and mandatory calculation exercises . Access to the exam requires that 2/3 of the calculation exercises have to be approved.

Compulsory assignments

  • Exercise

Further on evaluation

If there is a re-sit exam, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
