Discussion Topic 1: Rank top ten severe accidents in energy sector

Discuss safety in
wind energy

(1)    What were the
physical/technical circumstances that led to the accident?

The spoil tips produced by the mining process were placed on top
of a layer of porous sandstone that housed a number of underground springs. On
the lead up to the disaster it had been raining heavily for days which caused approximately
3-6 meters of the spoil tip to subside.

(2)    What were the main
underlying causes?

Installing
solar panels on rooftops are obviously a high risk activity. There are a number
of hazards such as working at heights which could lead to falls from heights or
falling objects. Also slippery roof surfaces, damaged roofs, electrical
discharge from uninstalled panels, electrical fitting and equipments are all
potential hazards. All these, when not properly controlled could lead to
undesired conquences.

In recentyears, millions of solar
panels have been placed on roofs around 
the world. Discuss how safe are they? Discuss the hidden pollution
caused by solar panels.

Fracking is the process of drilling down and creating tiny
explosions to shatter and crack hard shale rocks to release the gas inside.
Enough water, sand and chemicals are used in the production of shale gas. [1]

As a result of the current interest on how further global warming could be prevented or at least mitigated, the revival of nuclear power seems to be in everybody's - or at least in many politicians - mind. It is interesting to see that in many suggestions to mitigate global warming, the focus is put on the advantages of nuclear power generation, and its disadvantages are rarely mentioned.

Go Nuclear! Go Nuclear!! Go Nuclear!!!

My answer is an emphatic ‘yes.'

Discussion Topic 6: Discuss safety in wind energy.

Unlike fossil power sources, wind energy consumes
no fuel and does not  emit  air pollutants.  It  is
thus environmentally friendly.

Discussion Topic 5: In recent years, millions of solar panels have
been placed on roofs around the world. Discuss how safe are they? Discuss the
hidden pollution caused by solar panels.

thank you 

Extremely small size of nano-structures such as beams, sheets and
plates, which are commonly used as components in Nanoelectromechanical Systems
(NEMS), presents a significant challenge to the researchers of nano-mechanics.
Several studies have been developed on the mechanical behavior of nano-sized
bars, tubes, sheets and plates. The results of these studies show that the
elastic modulii of such nano-structural elements depend on their size.
Unfortunately, classical elasticity lacks an intrinsic length scale and thus

plzz anybody help me.. 

i want a matlab code in finite element method for finding frequencies of both uniform beam and Tapered beam
