Introduction to the fundamentals of kinematics and kinetics, to basic concepts of stability and special problems in continuum mechanics (buckling of straight bars, equivalent stress and yield criteria)
(Absolute) Kinematics: velocity and acceleration, distribution of velocity and acceleration in a rigid body, plane movement of a rigid body Kinetics: basic laws (principles of impulse and momentum); for plane motion and one-degree-of-freedom systems: kinetics of rigid bodies; work, energy and power; principles of work and energy The one-degree-of-freedom linear oscillator: free and forced vibrations Basic concepts of stability; buckling of straight bars; equivalent stress, yield criteria
