101. Continuum Mechanics: Materials In Motion Meeting Continuum mechanics Materials in motion discussion of theory, experiment,simulation and design issues related to the mechanics of solids and liquids. http://mrsec.uchicago.edu/meetings/contmech/

Continuum Mechanics: Materials in Motion July 24 - August 1, 2001 Mission Statement: Our purpose is to bring together engineers and scientists who are interested in the basic science of continuous media and in the applications of that science to engineering problems. We hope that most participants will be present for the entire period. People, particularly those from industry, who wish to present and/or discuss particular topics within this subject can come for shorter periods. This workshop is sponsored by the University of Chicago Materials Research Science and Engineering Center ( MRSEC ) and its ASCI-FLASH Center. The main workshop activity will be intensive and extensive discussion of theory, experiment, simulation and design issues related to the mechanics of solids and liquids. Scheduled activities will include one two-hour technical session per day, which will include one or more technical presentations plus related discussion. In addition there will be three tutorial lectures on reduced dimensional solid mechanics by L. Mahadevan. The Univ. of Chicago will provide some clustered office space, conference and meeting rooms. There will be accommodations, including single rooms and suites at the quadrangle club on campus. Limited support is available to academic invitees. People from industry are particularly encouraged to participate. We aim for the active involvement of twenty to twenty-five participants at any given time.

The Challenge of Heat A t the turn of the century Einstein, by holding to the nineteenth-century ideal of unifying physics on the foundation of mechanics, was in a dwindling minority. Most other theoretical physicists sought unity in one of two nonmechanical alternatives: the so-called energetic and electromagnetic points of view. These alternatives arose from nineteenth-century challenges to the mechanical program in studies of heat and electromagnetism. It was in an effort to reform mechanics and electrodynamics in the wake of these developments that Einstein produced his 1905 works. If, as Newton and others had suggested, all matter consists of atoms (or molecules), then heat is nothing but the energy of motion, or kinetic energy, of the atoms. But, like so many bouncing marbles or billiard balls, all atoms in their microscopic interactions must obey Newtonian mechanics. Those interactions are reversible: a motion picture of a collision between simple atoms will look perfectly normal if it is run backwards in time. So how does the irreversibility of macroscopic events, such as melting ice cubes, arise?

Links to past course pages General course and degree information The Physics Department offers a program consisting of course studies in broad areas of classical and modern physics, and research studies in both experimental and theoretical physics. The advanced classes are small, so there is ample opportunity for students to work closely with the Physics faculty, particularly in the advanced laboratories where students become familiar with state-of-the-art equipment.

MTH-1C32 : Mechanics and Modelling Hours, Credits and Assessment: The course is a compulsory (MTH students), 10 UCU unit of 20 lectures taught in the Spring Semester. Support teaching is via seminars. Assessment is by coursework (20%) and a 2 hour examination (80%). Overview: The study of classical mechanics takes as its point of departure Newton's three celebrated laws of motion. We may apply these fundamental laws to make accurate predictions about the movement of particles and solid bodies, from calculating the path of a cricket ball to computing the orbits of the planets. By determining the forces acting on a given system, we may use Newton's second law to formulate a differential equation describing its motion. We can then integrate this equation to determine a body's subsequent velocity and position. We will discuss particle trajectories under gravity with or without air resistance. Using Hooke's law, we will examine forced undamped and damped oscillations of springs and discuss the phenomenon of resonance. The notion of conserved quantities such as energy and angular momentum will be introduced. This will prepare the ground for a study of celestial mechanics by way of Kepler's laws of planetary motion. In the second part of the course, we will look briefly at some simple models of population dynamics. We will examine the Lotka-Volterra model of predator-prey dynamics, demonstrating how the populations of predators and their prey vary periodically in time, with a phase shift between the two. A surprising result concerning man's intervention in species control will be discussed.
