�tico Deportivo (2011) �tico Deportivo (2011)

Description

La asignatura de Fundamentos del Salvamento Acu�tico Deportivo est� integrada dentro del plan de estudios del Grado en Ciencias de la Actividad F�sica y el Deporte de la Universidad de Murcia. Esta disciplina es una materia optativa de 4� curso y que presenta una carga horaria de 3 cr�ditos ECTS (� 75 horas de trabajo del alumno). Esta asignatura es nueva en relaci�n al anterior plan de estudios y, adem�s, es novedosa con respecto a la mayor�a de los plantes de estudio de las diferentes Facultades del Deporte de Espa�a. Son muy pocas las que cuentan entre sus plantes de estudio con una asignatura espec�fica en el �mbito del salvamento acu�tico deportivo.

6.832 Underactuated Robotics (MIT) 6.832 Underactuated Robotics (MIT)

Description

Includes audio/video content: AV lectures. Robots today move far too conservatively, using control systems that attempt to maintain full control authority at all times. Humans and animals move much more aggressively by routinely executing motions which involve a loss of instantaneous control authority. Controlling nonlinear systems without complete control authority requires methods that can reason about and exploit the natural dynamics of our machines. This course discusses nonlinear dynamics and control of underactuated mechanical systems, with an emphasis on machine learning methods. Topics include nonlinear dynamics of passive robots (walkers, swimmers, flyers), motion planning, partial feedback linearization, energy-shaping control, analytical optimal control, reinforcement learning/a Includes audio/video content: AV lectures.

2.016 Hydrodynamics (13.012) (MIT) 2.016 Hydrodynamics (13.012) (MIT)

Description

This course covers the development of the fundamental equations of fluid mechanics and their simplifications for several areas of marine hydrodynamics and the application of these principles to the solution of engineering problems. Topics include the principles of conservation of mass, momentum and energy, lift and drag forces, laminar and turbulent flows, dimensional analysis, added mass, and linear surface waves, including wave velocities, propagation phenomena, and descriptions of real sea waves. Wave forces on structures are treated in the context of design and basic seakeeping analysis of ships and offshore platforms. Geophysical fluid dynamics will also be addressed including distributions of salinity, temperature, and density; heat balance in the ocean; major ocean circulations and This course covers the development of the fundamental equations of fluid mechanics and their simplifications for several areas of marine hydrodynamics and the application of these principles to the solution of engineering problems.

6.055J The Art of Approximation in Science and Engineering (MIT) 6.055J The Art of Approximation in Science and Engineering (MIT)

Description

This course teaches simple reasoning techniques for complex phenomena: divide and conquer, dimensional analysis, extreme cases, continuity, scaling, successive approximation, balancing, cheap calculus, and symmetry. Applications are drawn from the physical and biological sciences, mathematics, and engineering. Examples include bird and machine flight, neuron biophysics, weather, prime numbers, and animal locomotion. Emphasis is on low-cost experiments to test ideas and on fostering curiosity about phenomena in the world.
