Course description
The course is designed to allow students to achieve competence in the experimental and analytical methods for solving academic questions and aims to provide a basic understanding of an exercise in vibration analysis and statistical mechanics fields.
Purpose of class
Vibration analysis
If high-value added mechanical structures with a low-vibration or a low-noise design can be produced in the market, methods in static and dynamic design need to be used to make it with desired dynamic characteristics. The course aims to learn data acquisition, data processing, and analysis methods to make the structures.


Statistical mechanics
Statistical mechanics gives a framework for understanding macroscopic phenomena in view of microscopic interactions. Because of its broad applicability in the analytic description of phenomena beyond physics, it is indispensable in materials, information, and quantum engineering. At the beginning of the course, we introduce the statistical physics and analyze tractable simple models. Through exercises, we learn the fundamentals of statistical physics and its applications.
Goals and objectives
  1. On completion of this course, the student will be able to derive the equation of motions of multidegrees of freedom system or continuous system and to obtain eigen values and eigen vectors by solving the equations.
  2. On completion of this course, the student will be able to understand and explain the vibration experiment and the numerical simulation to make structures with desired dynamic characteristics.
  3. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to understand the fundamental framework of the statistical physics and to analyze rubber elasticity and magnetic materials.
  4. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to compute quantities by using Monte Carlo simulations and to analyze the numerical data by finite-size scaling analysis.
