Course detail
Kinematics
FSI-4KIAcad. year: 2023/2024
Kinematics, as a part of mechanics, is a science that deals with the motion of bodies irrespective of the forces causing the motion. Bodies have only the geometric properties that are constant. In kinematics, the body is immaterial; it is a model solid. The course covers the analysis of motions of a particle and rigid bodies. Topics include kinematics with absolute and relative motions of rigid bodies in translation, rotation, spherical and general planar motion using translating and rotating axes. Gained knowledge is applied to solving the mechanisms in motion. Mechanisms are solved both graphically and numerically. Kinematics geometry is applied as well.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Final examination: Written part of the examination plays a decisive role, where the maximum of 80 ECTS points can be reached. Solution of several computational problems is demanded. The problems come from typical profile areas of given subject and supplied by a theoretical question, proof, etc. The lecturer will specify exact demands like the number and types problems during the semester preceding the examination.
Final evaluation of the course is obtained as the sum of ECTS points gained in seminars and at the examination. To pass the course, at least 50 points must be reached.
Attendance at practical training is obligatory. Head of seminars carry out continuous monitoring of student's presence, their activities and basic knowledge.
Aims
The students will be able to analyse the movement from the point of view of kinematics and to perform the solution of motion variables determination. They will be able to analyse mechanisms, and on the basis of a set position determine the velocity and acceleration in arbitrary moment of time. As the matrix arithmetic is used during the analysis, the student will be able to solve kinematic problems using the computers.
