Course content
Fundamental terms, Newton´s laws, d´Alembert´s principle. Basic principles of dynamics of particle. Dynamics of free and fixed motion of particle in plane, dynamics of particle in space. Dynamics of system particles, centre of mass of system particles, equations of motion by dAlemberts in a way. Dynamic states at contemporarenous motions, equations of motion, translation motion of rigid body. General motion of rigid body in a space, spherical motion. Moments of inertia and products of inertia, ellipsoid of inertia. Rotation of rigid body about fixed axis, inertia effects. Balancing of rigid rotors. General motion of rigid body in a plane, rolling cylinder. Dynamics of system rigid bodies, equations of motion, method reduction of masses. Flywheels, gyroskopic effect. Theory of impact. Bases oscillating of linear systems with concentrated parameters.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming)
Learning outcomes
Aim of the course unit is acquaint students with priciples of Newtons mechanics - dynamics, learn students solve motions of rigid bodies and their systems, acquaint it´s with bases of vibration of linear discrete systems and on instances to demonstrate procedure of necessary calculations for application of theoretical knowledge to solving exercises of technical practice.
After graduation of subject can student set together and solve equations of motion for dynamics of particle, of rigid body and of systems rigid bodies, can calculate moments of inertia and products of inertia of rigid bodies, it´s acquainted with questions of balancing of a simple rigid rotors. Is able to apply simple theory of flywheels and impact of bodies, has basic knowledge to solution of linear vibration systems with single degree of freedom.
Prerequisites
Presumption for successful graduation of the subject is understanding and mastered topic of previous subjectes, i.e. Mechanics I and Kinematics.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

The requirements will be defined by lecturer.
