Learning outcomes: Knowledge: student have a knowledge of technical mechanics which is necessary to solve the problems of statics of simple equipment and expertise covering kinematics, dynamics of particle and rigid body. Student have a basic knowledge of the strength of materials enabling the calculation of stress and strain of structural elements of agricultural vehicles, knows how to solve the technical issues of calculating the dimensions and shapes of shafts, beams and trusses. Skills: student is able to solve technical issues of statics, kinematics and dynamics of rigid body based on the laws of physics, in particular the technical mechanics. Student have a knowledge to selection of materials based on knowledge of computational methods of strength of materials, in particular can calculate the stress and strain of machines, including agriculture, taking into account their structure and properties.

Competences: Is aware of the importance of education and self-improvement for the calculation of statics and strength of beams of simple devices that comprise the engineering of agricultural production, and understands the need for continuous learning in order to improve the skills acquired during their studies. Is able to work as the person responsible for the final result of the work or part of the task of mechanics and strength of materials, and is aware of the impact of the self work on the safety of people and the maintenance of production.

Prerequisites: Mathematics, Physics

Course content: Statics of mechanical systems in the condensed form (analytical methods, the reduction of force systems, trusses: Culmanna method and Ritter, beams, internal forces), the geometry of the masses (static moments, moments of inertia), kinematics and dynamics of rigid body point (the flat). Models of structural components. Internal forces, stress, strain, displacement. Experimental methods of evaluating mechanical properties of materials. Basic modes of member loading (tension–compression, torsion, shear, bending) –computational analysis and principles of strength design. Buckling. Introduction to computer-assisted methods of analysis.

Assessment methods: Assessment of learning outcomes in terms of knowledge: a credit of two tests based on theoretical preparation and problem solving on the exercises. Evaluation of the effects of training in skills: good problem solving with statics, kinematics, dynamics and strength of materials tested during exercise. Assessment of effects in social skills: individual work, a sense of responsibility for works, diligence in preparing for the implementation of tasks.
