Course content
Introduction to the computer program Mathcad The Static of bodies and their systems; body stored in the plane and space; systems of bodies in plane and space The Kinematics of systems of rigid bodies; mechanisms: slider-crank mechanism, Whitworth´s mechanism, planetary differential mechanism The Dynamics of rigid bodies and their systems, rolling the cylinder, slider-crank mechanism, balancing of rigid rotor The vibration of discrete systems with multiple degrees of freedom; vibration of triple-disc dynamically isolated system Problems vibration systems with continuously distributed parameters (continuum): longitudinal vibration of non-prismatic bar Problemsof elementary strength of materials; deflection lines of thin straight and curved bars Problems of dimensioning and strength of basic machine parts: dimensioning of shafts, pre-stressed bolted connections, welded joints

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming)
Learning outcomes
The aim is to familiarize students with the solution of specific problems of mechanics of rigid and deformable bodies and parts of machines, using the computer program Mathcad. The course follows and extends the knowledge gained in all subjects mechanics of rigid and deformable bodies, and the subject often machines.
After completing the course, students will gain practical skills for complex technical tasks in the field of mechanics of rigid and deformable bodies and parts of machines, using modern computational resources. Lead an objective procedure to assess several alternative solutions.
Prerequisites
A precondition for successful completion of this course is high knowledge of the findings from previous theoretical and applied scientific disciplines and the ability to use knowledge in a creative way.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

Credit will be awarded for attendance at seminars and a study according to the tutor or processing issues specific thesis. Examination of the course is determined in accordance with the Study and Examination Regulations.
