MIT OCW - Signals and Systems (Res.6-007) Analogous Electrical and Mechanical Systems. Contents Background It is possible to make electrical and mechanical systems using analogs.

Analogous Electrical and Mechanical Systems

An analogous electrical and mechanical system will have differential equations of the same form. There are two analogs that are used to go between electrical and mechanical systems. The analogous quantities are given below. Key Concept: Analogous Quantities To see the analogies more clearly, examine the following table that shows the constitutive relationships for the various analogous quantities. Converting Between Systems Electrical to Mechanical 1 (Force-Current). The important relationship when converting from a circuit to the Mechanical 1 analog is that between Kirchoff's Current Law and D'Alemberts Law (with inertial forces included).

The Engineering School Survival Guide: 4 Frameworks To Dominate Your Degree

This week I’m happy to bring you an absolutely fantastic guest article from Tom Miller. Tom is an engineer and physics tutor obsessed with independent learning. He writes about unconventional study methods at WTF Professor, aimed at simplifying the learning process for engineers and technical students. I first met Tom a few months ago when he emailed me with some questions on starting his own blog. In the short time between then and now, I’ve seen WTF Professor turn into an awesome resource for any student who’s interested in hacking their learning methods. Isn’t it funny, that when you tell older people you’re doing an engineering degree, that they tend to only have one of three responses: “Ooooh you must be so smart.”

For them, it’s the logical choice. But little do they know, the insider’s world is a whole different ballgame. How I Was Able to Ace Exams Without Studying : zen habits. Editor’s note: This is a guest post from Scott Young of ScottYoung.com.

How I Was Able to Ace Exams Without Studying : zen habits

In high school, I rarely studied. Despite that, I graduated second in my class. In university, I generally studied less than an hour or two before major exams. However, over four years, my GPA always sat between an A and an A+. Recently I had to write a law exam worth 100% of my final grade. Right now, I’m guessing most of you think I’m just an arrogant jerk. Why do Some People Learn Quickly? The fact is most of my feats are relatively mundane. The story isn’t about how great I am (I’m certainly not) or even about the fantastic accomplishments of other learners. It’s this different strategy, not just blind luck and arrogance, that separates rapid learners from those who struggle.

Most sources say that the difference in IQ scores across a group is roughly half genes and half environment. Rote memorization is based on the theory that if you look at information enough times it will magically be stored inside your head. Fourier vs Laplace transforms. For typical practical usage it is essential to know what properties has the system you are trying to describe.

Fourier vs Laplace transforms

Usually you are able even get some insights about possible shape of solution before you really solve equations, only by means of symmetry considerations. So then you have to consider one or another transform not because of formal effectiveness, but because your solution has to have practical interpretation! What do you do with solution if you do not have any interpretation for example for coefficients of equations you get?

Chicago has a total population of 2,896,016 and a student population of 280,248. Of these students, 70,896 are enrolled in schools that offer engineering programs. Chicago's largest engineering school is University of Illinois at Chicago. Short review of resistance, reactance and impedance. Figure 1 - Perfect resistor, inductor and capacitor Resistance, R Resistance is essentially friction against the motion of electrons.

Short review of resistance, reactance and impedance

It is present in all conductors to some extent (except superconductors!) , most notably in resistors. When alternating current goes through a resistance, a voltage drop is produced that is in-phase with the current. Resistance is mathematically symbolized by the letter “R” and is measured in the unit of ohms (Ω).
