Mechanics (Mechanical)

MECH11602 Mechanics (Mechanical) 10 Semester 2 Undergraduate Level 1 Elijah Borodin Unit coordinator 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' First part HE study/Bachelors ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 5.0 Engineering mechanics is both a foundation and a framework for most of the branches of engineering. The majority of the topics in mechanical and aerospace engineering are based on this subject. Thus, the theme is critical to the engineering curriculum. The course serves to solidify the student’s understanding of applied mathematics and physics and provides settings to strengthen students' problem-solving abilities. <span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB;mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-language:AR-SA;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;mso-fareast-font-family:Meiryo;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;">Engineering mechanics is both a foundation and a framework for most of the branches of engineering. The majority of the topics in mechanical and aerospace engineering are based on this subject. Thus, the theme is critical to the engineering curriculum. The course serves to solidify the student’s understanding of applied mathematics and physics and provides settings to strengthen students' problem-solving abilities.   • To equip students with the knowledge and skills required to develop and solve mathematical models of simple dynamical systems.• To enable students to apply fundamental mechanical principles to break down, simplify and analyse the behaviour of complex systems met in later modules of their engineering course. The course consists of the theoretical part, five tutorials and one laboratory work. The syllabus of the course covered several topics conventional for the basic university Mechanics courses:  1) Kinematics: velocity and acceleration; multidimensional motion in Cartesian and polar coordinates; motion under gravity in 2 dimensions; variable acceleration. (2) Momentum: laws of motion in force-momentum, impulse-momentum and energy forms; conservation of momentum; direct and oblique collisions; friction; extended objects; centre of mass. (3) Energy: definitions of kinetic energy, work, power, efficiency; Mechanical Energy Principle; conservative and non-conservative forces; gravitational and elastic potential energy; virtual work and potential-energy criterion for equilibrium. (4) Rigid body dynamics: rotational kinematics; rotational dynamics; moments of inertia; combined rotation and translation.   1 Written exam 80% 3 Report 15% 8 Practical skills assessment 5% <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri", "sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin">Exam and coursework feedback is communicated via  Blackboard.<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Calibri", "sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"> BEng(Hons) Mechanical Engineer BEng(Hons) Mechanical Engineer First Year Mandatory BEng(Hons) Mech w Management BEng(Hons) Mech w Management First Year Mandatory MEng (Hons) Mech w Ind Exp MEng (Hons) Mechanical Enginee First Year Mandatory MEng (Hons) Mechanical Enginee MEng (Hons) Mechanical Enginee First Year Mandatory MEng (Hons) Mech w Management MEng (Hons) Mechanical Enginee First Year Mandatory N Lectures 24 Project supervision 2 Tutorials 6 0 68
