Course description |
Based on fundamental physics learned at the Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering, we will introduce necessary contents for graduate students, regardless of major of each student, in the master’s program, including topics as a mechanical system view point, in response to the fundamental physics principle. Dividing contents into four parts, we aim at the establishment of their fundamental understandings related to its based, advanced study (core and advanced subjects). |
Expected Learning |
Based on fundamental physics learned at the Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering, we will make graduate students understand fundamental laws of wave/diffusion, electromagnetics, dynamics of mass system and rigid, quantum mechanics through related topics on mechanical system, and also make them to solve related problems. |
Course schedule |
In the first half lectures, topics on diffusion/heat conductivity and wave phenomena by Shinohara, and in the second half, those on electromagnetics, dynamics of mass system and rigid, and quantum mechanics with optics by Iwami will be discussed. First Lecture: physical phenomena and classification of equations, diffusion and heat conductivity equations Keywords: linear partial differential equation, separation of variables Second Lecture: diffusion equation Keywords: Brownian motion, Langevin equation, Fick’s law Third Lecture: diffusion equation and its solution Keywords: collision, Fourier analysis, superposition Fourth Lecture: heat conductivity equation and its solution Keywords: Fourier’s law Fifth Lecture: wave equation Keywords: oscillation and wave, elastic wave, Sixth Lecture: examples of wave equation Keywords: longitudinal and transverse waves, seismic wave, propagating and standing waves, dispersion relation and velocity Seventh Lecture: first assignment and test Eighth-Ninth Lectures: alternate current circuit, Maxwell equations, electromagnetic wave equation, optics Keywords: RLC circuit, Biot-Savart Law, Ampere Law, electromagnetic fields, Gauss theorem, Stokes’s theorem, reflection/transmission/refraction, interference, diffraction, polarization, microscopy and diffraction limit Tenth-Eleventh Lectures: dynamics of mass system and rigid Keywords: equation of motion involving mass changes, rocket equation, fundamental and coupled oscillation, active vibration absorber, moment of inertia Twelfth -Thirteenth: quantum mechanics and optics Keywords: wave and particle, Schrodinger equation, square well potential and energy eigenvalue, physical value and operator, tunneling effect, scanning tunneling microscopy, periodic potential and energy band, Fourteenth: second assignment and test Fifteenth: overall drill |
Prerequisites |
It is advisable to take the subjects such as “Physics Basics”, “Physics Basics and Exercises,” “Statics,” “Dynamics” and “Electromagnetics.” |
Required Text(s) and Materials |
No particular recommendation. References will be introduced when necessary. |

No particular recommendation. References will be introduced when necessary. |
Assessment/Grading |
We will grade the assignments, tests and reports in the first and second halves of lectures, and may consider an attendance situation in addition. Any comments and questions are welcome. |
Message from instructor(s) |
Although contents include the brush-up learned at the undergraduate course, we expect the students with a sense of tension because of new contents introduced. |
Course keywords |
wave/diffusion, electromagnetics, particle/rigid dynamics and quantum dynamics |
Office hours |
Office hour (Shinohara and Iwami): just after the lecture or appointment determination at that time |
