Objectives
Theoretical Mechanics lies at the base of many other mechanics-related subjects such as:
Strength of materials, applied mechanics, construction of moulds, calculating machine-components, fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, hydraulics and pneumatics.
Theoretical Mechanics can also be useful when designing new machines or developing new products.
It can be of great importance and help in critically evaluating, assessing and understanding the working of a machine, a mechanism, a production line,....
