iMechanica has over 16,000 registered users
The number of registered users of iMechanica passed 16,000 early today. The the number of posts passed 6,900, and that of comments, 12,500.
iMechanica was founded in September, 2006, with the mission:
- to use the Internet to enhance communication among mechanicians
- to pave a way to evolve online all knowledge of mechanics
I quote what I wrote when the number of registered user passed 1000 in early 2007:

Open PhD position: Inverse identification from full field measurements
The part of full field displacement measurements is increasing in
experimental mechanics. Their taking into account relies on the
development of suited identification approaches, which have to be able
to take advantage of their richness. When dealing with composites, they
offer the possibility to perform the identification at a scale where
the material is heterogenenous. The goal of this thesis is to apply
inverse approaches on the challenging case of the identification of
heterogeneous elasticity and develop a robust identification
