efluids.com: a website for fluid mechanics

Howard Stone just pointed out to me this website: efluids.com, a free resource for fluid dynamics and flow engineering. I don't know how it works yet. Any users of efluids?

Thanks for sending this my way - Robbin

CR4: News and Discussion for Engineers

Zhigang Suo — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 22:10:03 -0500

I found this website called CR4, which was listed as one of two Nice Web Sites by the December Issue of Internet Resources Newsletter. The other Nice Web Site listed is iMechanica.

Two links on robotics

Dear Robbin:

Very glad to see you here at iMechanica.

To be honest, I'm not aware of any specific forum and blog on robotics, extrusion, and atomization, but here are some yields from a Technorati search on Robotics:

Hope helpful.

Dear Robbin:

I'm thrilled to see you join us. Your blog on web conversion has made significant impression on me. Many of your teachings have found their ways in various details, I hope. I now feel like a student handing in a rough draft of his first paper to his professor. No doubt you will find many things that you disapprove. But my colleagues and I will learn, and hope to grow with the Internet, as we become more proficient. Please do help us grow.

The growth rate of iMechanica is more than any of us expected. We went online in mid September 2006, and have now more than 420 registered users, even though everyone can read everything in iMechanica without registering. Some people register to post in iMechanica. Many perhaps register to express their support for iMechanica.

I should go back to your question. There are quite a few mechanics blogs. A while ago I collected what I found in a Mechanics Blogroll. But few of these blogs are active. You may want to take a look at an active one on macroelectronics, maintained by Teng Li, who also started iMechanica with me.

This difficulty for an individual to maintain a technical blog is one of several reasons for us to start iMechanica. iMechanica is a multiblog: every registered user has a blog, and entires can be accessed simultaneously. This approach removes the pressure for an individual to post regularly. The approach perhaps is similar to the way we technical people publish in all these years, offline. We publish whenever we want, and let the journals help us reach the readers.

iMechanica is power by Drupal, an open-source content management system.
