Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
- Reminders of mechanics of particle
- Forces and moments of force
- Force systems
- Static equilibrium of a rigid body (in translation and rotation, in 2D and 3D)
- Equilibrium with distributed forces (mass centre, hydrostatic pressure, friction)
- Kinematics of a rigid body (translation and rotation in 2D)
- Dynamics of a rigid body (translation and rotation in 2D, moment of inertia)
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
After completing the course, the students will have reached a novice skill level in the different development stages :
- Design and size infrastructures and rural engineering structures such as dams, hydraulic structures, structures in steel, concrete and wood
- Design and size equipments pf monitoring and production in an agroenvironmental context
- Choose and size systems of purification, sanitation or renewable energy production
- Represent a body or system by a mechanical model, i.e. construct a free-body diagram
- Establish and solve the equilibrium equations (with concentred and distributed charges) to find reactions
- Compute mass centres and moments of inertia
- Describe the movement trajectory of a rigid body
- Establish and solve the movement equations of a rigid body
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Mechanics of particules (theoretical concepts et resolution of exercises)
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Theoretical course (12h) and practical work (12h)
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Additional information:
Face-to-face and/or remote theoric lectures with didactic demos to understand the basic concepts
Video sequences to help for the resolution of basic exercices.
Practical work of increasing complexity requiring prior preparation for each session.
