This semester I'm teaching an undergraduate course on functions of a complex variable.  A student has just sent me a message:

Q: Why did the mathematician name his dog "Cauchy"?

A: Because the dog left a residue at every pole.

I received an email several weeks ago with the following quote:

Hello everybody,

I am doing a research on meshless methods  and I want to know about these methods, the difference between these methods and the method the most used and if it is possible, I want to get some codes of these methods.

Thank you,

Cordially,

Hi,

I am an engineer woking in structures at Whirlpool. I am looking for a

book Theory of Elasticity by Timoshenko and Goodier (Third Edition). If

anybody has a soft copy of it or a link to it, can you please send it to me via e-mail.

I'll highly appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance,

hi,

i want the mid point deflection in case of "four point bend test" on a specimen of length 140mm, width of 40mm and thickness of 10mm.

Problem is that, beam theory is valid if the cross-sectional dimensions are less than axial dimensions. Here this condition is violated. i had modeled the specimen in Abaqus and the diffection at mid point is almost double that of the actual diffection calculated from beam theory. 

how can i find the theoritical difflection at mid point in this case?

Hi friends,

iam new to this website,

Iam doing research in the area of fatigue analysis using finite element technique for Burnishing process.

Any body worked in this area ? 

If so reply....

Bye
