The abstract of the paper is as follows (to appear in International Journal of Mechanical Engineering Education)

 A dynamic force-field analogy for analyzing organizational change is presented. Instead of

just analyzing the driving and restraining forces in the traditional force-field analysis, which is similar to

the static analysis in solid mechanics, the forces opposing change can be modeled in terms of viscous

or frictional forces that may be encountered. Some analogies between organizational change and the

Somebody have the Michell's work about structural optimization??: The limits of economy of material in frame-structures. Please. I need it....if you can send it to me...please contact me. Thanks

hello,



 
I am a mechanic eng. M.S student with interest on material science-energy-applied mechanic and the fields like this. 







could anyone tell me what are the recent projects are doning in fuel cell field? are the people doing structural mechanical research on fuel cells and etc?







as projcet going to be done at 2011 what are the newest topics?

Professors Mike Adams and Walter Herzog are the latest speakers to be announced, joining Professors Alfons Fisher and Greg Sawyer as key speakers during ICoBT 2011. For more information, go to http://www.biotribologyconference.com/speakers.asp

 Dear all,

I am doing a fracture analysis of composite beam using ANSYS please let me know about the type of elemnt that i should use for meshing?

thanks in advance 

Dear all,

I am doing 3d modal analysis using Ansys. When I checked the "Effective Mass-EM" for rotational dof, it is very large compared with total mass of the model. can you share your ideas for this question.Run simulation upto 90% of EM in all dof or only in translation dof or only for 2 translation dof (any rule of thumb)?

 Thanks in advance.

Dear All,I am studying cyclic loading, Plasticity and metal ratchetting. All the publication related to these topics mention about backstress. Please somebody explain me what is the backstress. Could you please suggest me a reference to learn fundamentals?bandula
