Ph.D. studentship in smart material at University of Glasgow, UK
A three-year
PhD studentship is available within the Glasgow Research Partnership in
Engineering (GRPE) as part of the Joint Research Institute in Mechanics of
Materials, Structures and Bioengineering at the University of Glasgow.
The
specific goals of the PhD will be to manufacture MREs and determine the
influence of manufacture conditions on the micro-structure and magnetic-sensitivity
of the magnetorheological elastomers (smart material).
Random Vibration
What is meant by wave number?. What is the allowable standard power spectral density for road profiles?
PDEs and complex analysis
To students of AM 105a:
On 26 October 2007, Albert Tsou sent in the following Q & A.
Q: Why did the mathematician name his dog "Cauchy"?
A: Because the dog left a residue at every pole.
As you know, certain sections in Saff and Snider upset me, and I have deviated from the book. We all agree that no text should be held as an authority. But now, both you and I are paying for the deviation.
Super Plastic Forming Die Cleaning
I am working on a project for a more efficient process for cleaning supe plastic forming dies. Currently, we are cleaning them manually with an electric drill motor and a brush on the end of that. This process is ergonomically doing a number on our employees, not say that the process is lengthy. Is there anyone that has had any luck with any other process cleaning dies? Thanks.....

Collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, 7 November 1940
In today's class of complex analysis, my co-instructor Scott Norris was lecturing on resonance. He mentioned a YouTube video of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Also instructive is the entry of the bridge on Wikipedia.
GRE Verbal, how much does it count?
I am in the process of applying for a PhD in computational solid mechanics in the US and I am about to take the GRE. Well I have been kind of busy at my work and didn't really get time to study the word list.
My question is, how much weight does the verbal part have in admission/fellowship/assistantship decisions? If I have really good GPA's and research experience with enthusiastic refrees, can I still make it with medicore results on the verbal part?
Moebius transformations
Michael Brenner has just pointed out to me this video of the Moebius transformations.
