Ultimate Linear Motion Mechanism For Clean Energy

Submitted by Jigar Y. Patel on

 

 

I apply force using one slider to another slider. Best part is one slider move little bit and help second slider to slide 6 times length at 70 % force.

Energy Used to move first slider=force*distance

=100N*0.05m

=5Nm

Energy Get on Other Slider= Force*Distance

=Force applied by first slider*cos(45`)*distance

=100*0.7*0.25

=17.5

We get 3 times energy on second slider than we use to move first slider.

Postdoctoral position - nonlinear dynamics

Submitted by gauravs on

Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) invites applications for a postdoctoral position from motivated individuals interested in modeling and simulation research in Nonlinear Dynamics (supervised by Profs. Pratyush Dayal and Gaurav Srivastava). These applications are sought under Post-Doctoral Fellowships Program of IITGN. The candidate will be required to develop a fully functional suite of computational tools to perform multiphysics modeling and simulation studies on soft materials.

Seminal research work: in-situ mechanical testing under electron microscope

Submitted by Amit Pandey on

A lot work has been done/published in the area of in-situ mechanical testing using electron microscopy. Please list which, according to what you feel has had a significant impact. Here are two in my opinion:

 Uchic, M. D., Dimiduk, D. M., Florando, J. N., & Nix, W. D. (2004). Sample dimensions influence strength and crystal plasticity. Science305(5686), 986-989.

Bioinspiration and biointegration

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

The nervous system has long been an inspiration for the engineer.  Here is an example in a popular textbook on neuroscience.  When a person steps on a nail, the sensor in his foot sends a signal to his brain, the brain sends a signal to his muscle, and he lifts his foot.  The example illustrates the sensor, actuator and processor in the nervous system.

postdoctoral position - isogeometric analysis

Submitted by sangalli on

IMATI-CNR and the Mathematics Department of the University of Pavia offer a postdoc position on isogeometric analysis. This research project focuses on the design and implementation of innovative isogeometric methods for solid/fluid mechanics.  In particular the target applications are related to

- nearly-incompressible and fibered materials

- fluids in geological formations

This research project is partially supported by the private sector, and is supervised by Annalisa Buffa and Giancarlo Sangalli.

Looking for a Postdoc position in the filed of vibration aided fault diagnosis

Submitted by behrang on

I am going to finnish my Ph.D. of mechanical engineering with a thesis in the field of vibration assisted fault diagnosis in about 3 months. My main field of research is vibration and I have worked extensively on gear systemes vibration modeling and diagnostics. 

Currently I am looking for a postdoc position at which I can continue my researches in the abovesaid fields.
