07887 - Mechanics and Thermodynamics

Learning outcomes

Al termine del corso, lo studente possiede le conoscenze di base delle leggi della meccanica newtoniana e della termondinamica. È in grado di applicare i concetti generali e le leggi fondamentali della cinematica e della dinamica, degli scambi energetici e della trasformazioni tra forme differenti di energia, alla soluzione di problemi, in particolare nell'ambito dei materiali (diagrammi di stato, potenziali termodinamici)
