Language

ING-IND/13 - APPLIED MECHANICS
The teaching is organized as follows:
Elementi di Meccanica
Laboratorio di simulazione meccanica
Learning objectives
The course aims to introduce the fundamentals of analysis and kinematic simulation of mechanical systems, referring to both planar and spatial systems (transformation matrices, open kinematic chains, velocity and angular velocity). It introduces the elements of analysis, modeling and dynamic simulation: main forces acting on mechanical systems (including contact forces), mass and moments of inertia, principles of Newtonian dynamics. The laboratory is finalized to introduce the use of symbolic and numeric calculation tools applied to the modeling of mechanical systems.
Prerequisites and basic notions
A solid basic training in physics, mathematical analysis and geometry is required to address the topics of the course.
Program
Kinematic pairs and mechanisms: constraints and contact geometry between rigid bodies, kinematic pairs, realization of kinematic pairs, kinematic chains, mobility of plane kinematic chains, geometric mobility criteria, mobility of mechanisms in general rigid motion. Homogeneous transformation matrices, transformations between reference systems, angular velocity. Contact forces and friction: surface contacts and Hertz theory, sliding friction and Coulomb model, fluid dynamic actions. Kinematics of plane mechanisms: mathematical model, position analysis, velocity analysis, acceleration analysis, geometric aspects of the kinematics of mechanisms. Kinematics of spatial mechanisms: reference systems (transformation matrices, open kinematic chains, velocity and angular velocity). Statics of mechanisms: equilibrium of mechanical systems, statics of systems in the presence of friction, quality of transmission. Dynamics of mechanical systems: masses and moments of inertia, dynamic modeling, operating conditions, efficiency, motor-user coupling. Mechanical vibrations: Examples of vibrating systems and kinematic models, free vibrations of single degree of freedom systems, forced vibrations of single degree of freedom systems. Mechanics of kinematic pairs: plain bearings, rolling bearings.
Bibliography
Didactic methods
Lessons in mixed mode (blended: online and in person. Online lessons will be provided in asynchronous mode, weekly online reception in synchronous mode, clarification lessons and in-person review. Carrying out of laboratory exercises for simulation of mechanical systems by means of symbolic equation manipulation software.
Learning assessment procedures
Written exam (assignment and development of laboratory homework) and oral exam in presence.
Evaluation criteria
Ability to understand the given problem. Ability to analyze and model a mechanical system by writing its constraint and dynamics equations. Ability to express oneself with the correct terminology. Understanding of the topics covered in class and ability to apply.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final composition of the mark is given by the weighted sum of the marks obtained in the mechanical simulation laboratory test (1/3) and in the mechanical elements test (2/3).
Exam language
La lingua utilizzata nella prova è l’Italiano. Studenti stranieri (es. Erasmus) possono chiedere di svolgere la prova in lingua Inglese.
Type D and Type F activities
Le attività formative di tipologia D sono a scelta dello studente, quelle di tipologia F sono ulteriori conoscenze utili all’inserimento nel mondo del lavoro (tirocini, competenze trasversali, project works, ecc.). In base al Regolamento Didattico del Corso, alcune attività possono essere scelte e inserite autonomamente a libretto, altre devono essere approvate da apposita commissione per verificarne la coerenza con il piano di studio. Le attività formative di tipologia D o F possono essere ricoperte dalle seguenti attività.
1. Insegnamenti impartiti presso l'Università di Verona
Comprendono gli insegnamenti sotto riportati e/o nel Catalogo degli insegnamenti (che può essere filtrato anche per lingua di erogazione tramite la Ricerca avanzata).
Modalità di inserimento a libretto: se l'insegnamento è compreso tra quelli sottoelencati, lo studente può inserirlo autonomamente durante il periodo in cui il piano di studi è aperto; in caso contrario, lo studente deve fare richiesta alla Segreteria, inviando a carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it il modulo nel periodo indicato.
2. Attestato o equipollenza linguistica CLA
Oltre a quelle richieste dal piano di studi, per gli immatricolati dall'A.A. 2021/2022 vengono riconosciute:
- Lingua inglese: vengono riconosciuti 3 CFU per ogni livello di competenza superiore a quello richiesto dal corso di studio (se non già riconosciuto nel ciclo di studi precedente).
- Altre lingue e italiano per stranieri: vengono riconosciuti 3 CFU per ogni livello di competenza a partire da A2 (se non già riconosciuto nel ciclo di studi precedente).
Tali cfu saranno riconosciuti, fino ad un massimo di 6 cfu complessivi, di tipologia F se il piano didattico lo consente, oppure di tipologia D. Ulteriori crediti a scelta per conoscenze linguistiche potranno essere riconosciuti solo se coerenti con il progetto formativo dello studente e se adeguatamente motivati.
Gli immatricolati fino all'A.A. 2020/2021 devono consultare le informazioni che si trovano qui.
Modalità di inserimento a libretto: richiedere l’attestato o l'equipollenza al CLA e inviarlo alla Segreteria Studenti - Carriere per l’inserimento dell’esame in carriera, tramite mail: carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it
3. Competenze trasversali
Scopri i percorsi formativi promossi dal TALC - Teaching and learning center dell'Ateneo, destinati agli studenti regolarmente iscritti all'anno accademico di erogazione del corso https://talc.univr.it/it/competenze-trasversali
Modalità di inserimento a libretto: non è previsto l'inserimento dell'insegnamento nel piano di studi. Solo in seguito all'ottenimento dell'Open Badge verranno automaticamente convalidati i CFU a libretto. La registrazione dei CFU in carriera non è istantanea, ma ci saranno da attendere dei tempi tecnici.
4. Periodo di stage/tirocinio
Oltre ai CFU previsti dal piano di studi (verificare attentamente quanto indicato sul Regolamento Didattico): qui informazioni su come attivare lo stage.

Attendance
The inter-university nature of the course of study lies in the cooperation of the three universities in the provision of faculty. Therefore, teaching delivery takes place at the administrative and teaching site in Verona and not in the partner universities. This means that it is not possible to attend this bachelor's degree program in the University of Trento or Modena-Reggio Emilia; however, it is possible to use the study spaces of the partner universities, thanks to the agreement between them.
As stated in the Didactic Regulations for A.Y. 2022/2023, course attendance is not mandatory.
Please refer to the constantly updated information of the Crisis Unit for teaching delivery methods.
