This second-year engineering course provides a rigorous foundation in classical mechanics, serving as a bridge between mathematics and applied engineering sciences. Organized into three chapters—(1) Mathematical Reminders, (2) Statics and Equilibrium of the Solid Body, and (3) Kinematics of the Solid Body—the program develops both theoretical understanding and practical problem-solving skills.
Rational Mechanics is essential for engineers as it:
- Builds the analytical tools needed to model and study the behavior of physical systems.
- Trains students to represent forces, motions, and constraints using vectors, torsors, and precise mathematical reasoning.
- Prepares the ground for advanced courses such as dynamics, continuum mechanics, materials resistance, robotics, and structural analysis.
- Enhances critical thinking and abstraction, enabling future engineers to translate real-world problems into solvable mechanical models.
By mastering Rational Mechanics, students gain a versatile toolkit for analyzing and designing systems across multiple fields of engineering, from aeronautics and automotive to energy and robotics.
