Leuven, November 19, 2007. Materialise
launches Mimics 11.1, the new release of the company’s medical imaging and
editing software. This new release builds on the last one, enhancing export to
FEA even more. Overall usability and performance were improved with some very
nice new features. Take a look at our website for more information.
Stress/Strain Analysis of Bullet-Holeson the Boeing 737 Fuselage Boeing 737 is the most popular aircraft in the sky today, with each one taking off or landing on average of every 6 seconds. One of the most important analyses conducted on these passenger aircrafts is determining the impact of any damage on the fuselage.
Overview. This post is a description of the project Sunny Wicks and I will be pursuing for this class, to satisfy the requirements for Problem 29.
Hii All
i am using 20 noded brick elements with reduced integration to analyse stress and displcement fields in a simply supported beam. how can i control hourglassing effect? please give me suggestions.

Professor Vlassak mentioned that last year every single person did a finite element project. He said he wanted to see more theory projects, so I decided to take him up on that.
I was browsing around one day and happened upon an article that explained that while the Green's function of the laplacian was positive definite, the biharmonic operator's Green's function is not. Physically, this has significance.
Howard Stone, of the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, has won the first Batchelor Prize. The newly established Prize is sponsored by Cambridge University Press and the Journal of Fluid Mechanics. The award of US$25,000 will be presented at the International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ICTAM), taking place in Adelaide in August 2008. Howard is iMechanica user number 96.
Full support is available for 2 PhD students in cellular mechanics group in Biomedical Engineering Department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
The applicants should have mechanics, materials or soft matter physics background, with some experimental experience at micro-scales. Experience with any of the following is considered a
plus: computational mechanics, cell/tissue culture, microscopy, image analysis, photonics.
The Chronicle of Higher Education just published its ranking of all programs (fields) of universities in the States.
http://chronicle.com/stats/productivity
This ranking is based on the productivity (publications, citations, grants and awards, nothing else), rather than people perceptions (department head's evaluations) as US News and World Report.
Of course one should never take any ranking very seriously, but it is interesting to take a look at this website.
I work in the Microrobotics lab here at Harvard, where we focus on the construction of biomimetic insect-sized microrobots. Traditional machining techniques are insufficient to create parts on this small scale, so we utlize laser-machined composite materials (such as carbon fiber), which are relatively rigid, and thin polymer films, which are relatively flexible. These materials can be sandwiched together in sheets to create compliant flexure joints, analagous to macro-scale revolute joints.
