Content | Chapter I – Basics: 1. Bipoint and vector (free, linked, sliding, vector operations) 2. Scalar product and guiding cosines of a line 3. Cross product (Gibbs formula, …) 4. Mixed product 5. Moment of a slider (with respect to a point, with respect to an axis) 6. Vector division 7. The torsors (definition, invariants, central point, central axis, co- moment, auto-moment) 8. Particular twists Chapter II – Kinematics of the material point: 1. The vector derivation (definition, properties, change of the derivation coordinate system) 2. The rotation vector 3. Properties of the rotation vector (composition, inversion of the derivation basses) 4. Position of a point in a landmark 5. Speed, hodograph 6. Acceleration of a point with respect to a coordinate system (geometric interpretation) Chapter III– Kinematics of the indeformable solid: 1. Kinematics of the mechanisms definition, degrees of freedom, 2. Relative position of two solids) 3. Point linked to a solid 4. Fields of vectors acceleration of points of a solid 5. Composition of movements 6. Torsor sliding speed at a point between two solids (definition, relative movement) 7. Plane on plane movement |
