Topics include kinematics; force-momentum formulation for systems of particles and rigid bodies in planar motion; work-energy concepts; virtual displacements and virtual work; Lagrange's equations for systems of particles and rigid bodies in planar motion; linearization of equations of motion; linear stability analysis of mechanical systems; free and forced vibration of linear multi-degree of freedom models of mechanical systems; and matrix eigenvalue problems. The class includes an introduction to numerical methods and using MATLAB® to solve dynamics and vibrations problems. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mechanical-Engineering/2-003JFall-2007/CourseHome/index.htmSarma, SanjayMakris, NicholasSo, Peter2008-06-09T12:36:30-04:002.003J1.053Jen-USCivil and Environmental EngineeringMechanical Engineering/Mechanical Technology/TechnicianMechanical EngineeringMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm1.050 Engineering Mechanics I (MIT)This subject provides an introduction to the mechanics of materials and structures. You will be introduced to and become familiar with all relevant physical properties and fundamental laws governing the behavior of materials and structures and you will learn how to solve a variety of problems of interest to civil and environmental engineers. While there will be a chance for you to put your mathematical skills obtained in 18.01, 18.02, and eventually 18.03 to use in this subject, the emphasis is on the physical understanding of why a material or structure behaves the way it does in the engineering design of materials and structures. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Civil-and-Environmental-Engineering/1-050Fall-2007/CourseHome/index.htmBuehler, MarkusUlm, Franz-Josef2008-06-17T01:40:38-04:001.050en-USCivil and Environmental EngineeringEngineering Mechanicscollapsefracture mechanicsenergy boundselasticityMohr circlestrain tensordeformationstress planestrength criteriastrength modelsbeam modelcontinuum modelstressWorld Trade Center towersatomic explosiondimensional analysisGalileo's problemengineering designstructuresmaterialsmechanicsMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm1.041J Frameworks and Models in Engineering Systems / Engineering System Design (MIT)This class provides an introduction to quantitative models and qualitative frameworks for studying complex engineering systems. Also taught is the art of abstracting a complex system into a model for purposes of analysis and design while dealing with complexity, emergent behavior, stochasticity, non-linearities and the requirements of many stakeholders with divergent objectives. The successful completion of the class requires a semester-long class project that deals with critical contemporary issues which require an integrative, interdisciplinary approach using the above models and frameworks.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Engineering-Systems-Division/ESD-04JSpring-2007/CourseHome/index.htmSussman, Joseph2008-05-15T01:22:11-04:00ESD.04JESD.01J1.041Jen-USCivil and Environmental EngineeringDrafting/Design Engineering Technologies/Technicians, Otherarchitectural system configurationnon-linearitiesstochasticityemergent behavioranalysis and designcomplex engineering systemsqualitative frameworksquantitative modelsframeworks and models in engineering systemsEngineering Systems DivisionMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
