  2. Mechanical engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_engineering

    Analyze problems to see how mechanical and thermal devices might help solve the problem. Design or redesign mechanical and thermal devices using analysis and computer-aided design. Develop and test prototypes of devices they design. Analyze the test results and change the design as needed. Oversee the manufacturing process for the device.

  3. Mechanics (Aristotle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanics_(Aristotle)

    Mechanics (Greek: Μηχανικά; Latin: Mechanica), also called Mechanical Problems or Questions of Mechanics, is a text traditionally attributed to Aristotle, but generally regarded as spurious (cf. Pseudo-Aristotle). [1]

  4. Analytical mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytical_mechanics

    The goal of mechanical theory is to solve mechanical problems, such as arise in physics and engineering. Starting from a physical system—such as a mechanism or a star system—a mathematical model is developed in the form of a differential equation. The model can be solved numerically or analytically to determine the motion of the system.

  5. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    [3] [4] In 1882, Hertz solved the contact problem of two elastic bodies with curved surfaces. This still-relevant classical solution provides a foundation for modern problems in contact mechanics. For example, in mechanical engineering and tribology, Hertzian contact stress is a description of the stress within mating parts. The Hertzian ...

  7. Virtual work - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_work

    Virtual work is the total work done by the applied forces and the inertial forces of a mechanical system as it moves through a set of virtual displacements. When considering forces applied to a body in static equilibrium, the principle of least action requires the virtual work of these forces to be zero.
