Course content
Schedule of lectures and exercises: Week 1: Lecture - Basic concepts of statics. Force, moment of force to a point and to an axis, Varignon's theorem, force pair, basic theorems of statics, work and power of force and moment. Exercises - Examples: composition and decomposition of forces, determination of the moment of force to a point and to an axis, composition of force pairs. Week 2: Lecture - Basic concepts of elastostatics. External and internal forces, stress, strain, working diagram, limit stress, Hooke's law. Exercises - Practical demonstrations in the laboratory. Week 3: Lecture - Stress, strain, strain work and strain energy. Limit states of stress and conditions of strength. Exercise - Tensile (compression) loading of straight members and their sizing. Torsional loading of straight members of circular cross-section and their sizing. Application examples. Week 4: Lecture - Static of a material point. Storage and equilibrium of a material point without and with passive effects. Exercise - Application examples. Week 5: Lecture - Kinematics of a material point. Rectilinear and curvilinear motion. Exercises - Application examples: solution of rectilinear motion of a material point, reciprocating motion, harmonic motion, motion of a point on a circle. Week 6: Lecture - Dynamics of a material point. Equation of motion and its solution. Condition of dynamic equilibrium. Theorems of motion of a material point. Exercise - Application examples: investigation of the motion of a material point. Week 7: Lecture - Dynamics of relative motion of a material point. Exercise - Application examples: investigating the relative motion of a material point. Week 8: Lecture - Fundamentals of vibration theory of discrete linear systems with one degree of freedom. Free vibrations. Exercise - Application examples: investigation of natural frequencies and free vibrations of undamped and damped linear systems with one degree of freedom. Week 9: Lecture - Forced oscillations of linear systems with one degree of freedom. Harmonically forced oscillations. Exercise - Application examples: investigation of steady-state harmonically forced oscillations. Week 10: Lecture - Kinematic excitation. Excitation from rotor unbalance. Exercise - Application examples: non-periodically forced oscillation (excitation by impulse and jump). Week 11: Lecture - Dynamics of rotor systems. Laval rotor, rotor with a general disc. Campbell diagram. Exercises - Application examples: calculation of moments of inertia and moments of deviation of bodies, balancing perfectly rigid rotors, rigid rotor on compliant bearings. Week 12: Lecture - Basics of vibroacoustics, noise propagation. Exercises - Application examples. Semester paper assignment. Week 13: Lecture - Experimental measurement of vibration and noise. Exercise - Experimental measurement of vibration and noise - practical demonstrations in the laboratory.
