Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

Particle dynamics in accelerating systems. Particle system and rigid body mechanics.

Intended learning outcomes

After completing the course the student should be able to:

  • identify a concrete mechanical problem, and choose suitable mechanical models based on a problem description,
  • translate the mechanical model into a mathematical model,
  • mathematically treat the problem and critically analyze the significance of the result,

in order to use a physical mindset and communicate this within the framework of engineering science contexts.

Examination and completion

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

  • INL1 - Assignments, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
