 <title>EM 388F Term Paper</title>
 <link>http://imechanica.org/node/2913</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;
Assignment: Each student completes a term paper of selected topics that (a) addresses a fracture phenomenon in materials or structures, and (b) involves analyses using fracture mechanics. The project contributes 25% of the final grade, distributed as follows:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5%: April 7 (Monay). &lt;/strong&gt;Post your title and abstract in iMechanica, using the following format: &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Title (e.g., EM 388F Term Paper: Fracture in Biological Materials). &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tags (EM 388F, Spring 2008, University of Texas at Austin, fracture mechanics, term paper, plus others related to your topic) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Body: (i) Describe the fracture phenomenon. (ii) Explain how fracture mechanics analysis can be performed.  (iii) Cite at least 1 journal article.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10%: April 28 and 30. &lt;strong&gt;Give a &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;15-minute presentation.  Use power point slides.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10%: May 9 (Friday)&lt;/strong&gt;. Upload a pdf file of your final term paper as an attachment to the same blog entry as your abstract.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
