Power of iMechanica during job hunting

computational mechanics

job

In July 2007, my friend of a consulting company contacted me for recruiting a computational mechanics engineer. I told him that all my graduate students found jobs, and there are not many mechanics students in our small department. So, I posted his ad at iMechanica. Only after one week, he asked me to withdraw this ad! Why?

Because many high-qualified applicants contacted him in one week and, he’d give the offer right away. I believe this example is an index of active user groups of iMechanica.

Hello every body

I am a novice (new one) on this web site and I just began, I am preparing my master on composites and I think that you have more informations than me on this subject my problem is that Iam in the coparative step between my results and the others.

my work is on the crack of composites mode II (sliding mode) I'm modelizing that phenomen with finit element to find the enegy of sustitution the problem is that I have not found any results by web and unfotunatly we have not books on this subject in my university.

Size & Strain Rate MD Study on Metallic Nanowires

mechanical stretching

Thank you for your interest shown in my previously posted work. Here's a post-print for an article of an extension to my previous work. Extension in the sense that the MD simulation was performed on "larger" metallic nanowires (2.0 nm to 6.0 nm), and the behavior of gold (Au) nanowires were studied. The mechanism behind strain-induced amorphization was explained and the phenomenon of multiple necking was observed, implying the presence of "localized" amorphization instead of a "globalized" one observed in shorter nanowires.

Interesting Material: d3o

I came across this web page recently, and it talks about a novel product d3o that can control impact effects by adjusting molecular structure in case of shock loads. If this material becomes a regular apparel material, we may see many Jackie Chans in the future. The material is d3o.

Visit this page to learn more about this material, This is not a SPAM. http://www.d3o.com/index.php

I don't know if you guys knew of this. I guess you do. Is this material really the way it is advertised, or some boasting included?
