Theoretical mechanics is an important required course which involves the main basic principles of Newtonian mechanics and study a number of applications in the Macro discrete mechanical systems. Classical Mechanics can be divided in three large parts, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics and general mechanics. Theoretical mechanics may be defined as the parts of general mechanics. This course provides with the fundamental knowledge and application in engineering for students in science and engineering major. In order to ensure the foundation, it has a strong theoretical system (including the necessary rigorous mathematical derivation). At the other hands, it focuses on the application of dynamics analysis methods (including the force analysis, kinematical analysis and kinetic modeling method). Meanwhile the basic concepts of the course are grasped in the analysis and research the typical engineering problems, not just rely on to remember these concepts. The task of this course is to enable students to master the basic law and research methods of particle, particle system and rigid bodies mechanical motion involving static equilibrium, and to lay the necessary foundation for the related follow-up courses and create the conditions for future learning and mastering new science and technology. It provides students with the theoretical mechanics theory and methods to preliminarily analyze and solve some simple engineering problems. Combined with the characteristics of the course, it trains students’ dialectical materialism view of the world and develops students’ abilities.

Theoretical Mechanics will lay the theoretical foundation to the follow-up courses and develop students’ ability to solve practical engineering problems.
