Solid kinematics and statics

This Solid Mechanics course studies articulated systems made up of rigid solids through their movements and equilibrium positions. Concepts covered include velocity fields in solids, link classification and forces. Graphical kinematics and statics are also used.

• Be able to determine kinematic fields for a rigid solid
• Use the notion of force, linkage and kinematic cursors.
• Be able to apply the Fundamental Principle of Statics to simple or multi-body systems.
• Use graphic resolution methods for kinematics and statics.

Rules of elementary arithmetic, Trigonometry, Vectors, Vector product, Derivation of compound functions.

Recommended prerequisites* : UE calculus

2 ongoing tests (CC1 and CC2) and 1 final exam (ET).

The final score is given by :

max(0.3(CC1+CC2)/2 + 0.7ET ; ET)
