Mechanics
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,....
