I have quite a few ideas for MTech/ME/BTech/BE degree projects. The projects may be suitable in many different branches, including Mechanical, Computer Science, Metallurgical, Aerospace, Civil, etc. (In a few cases, MSc/M Phil students of departments like Physics or Computer Modeling and Simulation would be suitable too.)
All these projects are available for the new academic year (2008-09), at Pune, India.

I joined imechanica almost a year ago and I've been frequently following its interesting discussions, even the most animated ones. I think that a place like this is ideal to foster the exchange of ideas in the scientific community;
Moreover it is fantastic as a simple student like me can interact and easily ask questions to the most important researcher in the field of mechanics.
In Computational mechanics, for rate(time) dependent calculations (eg. Creep, plasticity), when we say time step dt, does it mean physical time.
Can I think this way:
I start at time 0 and calculate stress, strain etc after 1 sec, 2 sec, 3 sec..
Also, what exactly is strain rate? why do some books say ..'when a strain rate is applied'''..I'm confused..dont we just apply displacement or force all the time.
Spring 2008: The Materials Division of ASME is pleased to announce the creation of The Sia Nemat-Nasser Early Career Medal in honor of Dr. Sia Nemat- Nasser, Director of the Center of Excellence for Advanced Materials at UC San Diego and Distinguished Professor of Mechanics and Materials. This award is given to recognize research excellence in the areas of experimental, computational, and theoretical mechanics and materials by young investigators who are within 10 years after their Ph.D. degree, with special emphasis placed on under-represented minorities and women.
Hello everybody,
I am a new comer here and I need some help. I want to simulate the interface debonding process of bimaterial using the commercial FE software msc.marc, but I want to use my own cohesive law not the one given by the marc. so the user subrotine UCOHESIVE must be used, the problem is I dont know how to program using FORTRAN. I hope some one here can help me, if you have such a user subrotine, can you kindly sent it to me? that will give me a great hand. Thank you very much. Expect your reply.
On May 29th, Prof. Zhigang Suo, a member of the US National Academy of Engineering and professor of Mechanics and Materials at Harvard University, made two lectures for teachers and students in Tongji University, titled “from study in Harvard to be elected to the US National Academy of Engineering” and “Mechanics of Soft Active Materials”.
