Structural Mechanics and Dynamics

MATSUO Shigeki
Course description
This course will provide lectures on mechanics with an emphasis on its application to mechanical engineering. Specifically, students will learn about the basic concepts of mechanics, balance of forces, the kinematics and dynamics of a mass point, and the motion of a rigid body, while also acquiring basic mathematics such as differential and integral calculus, differential equations, and vectors.
Purpose of class
The purpose of this course is to let students understand the fundamentals of structural mechanics and related mathematical methods.
Goals and objectives
  1. To be able to apply the basic concepts of mechanics.
  2. To be able to apply the balance of forces.
  3. To be able to apply the kinematics and dynamics of point masses.
  4. To be able to apply rigid body kinematics and dynamics.
