    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_engineering

    Various machine components used in mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineering is the study of physical machines that may involve force and movement. It is an engineering branch that combines engineering physics and mathematics principles with materials science, to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. [1]

  4. Compression (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_(physics)

    Compression of solids has many implications in materials science, physics and structural engineering, for compression yields noticeable amounts of stress and tension. By inducing compression, mechanical properties such as compressive strength or modulus of elasticity , can be measured.

  8. Classical mechanics is deceptively simple. It is surprisingly easy to get the right answer with fallacious reasoning or without the real understanding. To address this problem Jack Wisdom and I, with help from Hardy Mayer, have written [ Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics ] and are teaching a class at MIT that uses ...
