...-structure interactions. The governing continuum mechanics equations, conservation laws, virtual work, and variational principles are used to establish effective finite element discretizations and the stability, accuracy, and convergence are discussed. The homework and the student-selected term project using...

... Engineering Thermodynamics, and 10.301 Fluid Mechanics may be taken in the sophomore year. The student is then well positioned for more in-depth and specialized subjects in the third and fourth years. Some students may wish to defer choice of a major field or exercise maximum freedom during the first... Learn about: Organic Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Fluid Mechanics...

... interatomic potentials, visualization and data analysis. We cover basic concepts of mechanics at small scales and relate it to common engineering concepts...

...This course develops and applies scaling laws and the methods of continuum and statistical mechanics to biomechanical phenomena over a range of length scales, from molecular to cellular to tissue or organ level...

...Together, this course and 8.06 Quantum Physics III cover quantum physics with applications drawn from modern physics.
