Submitted by debian_asl on Wed, 01/26/2011 - 16:34

hi all,,,

how to find the tilt angle of a floating inhomogeneous disk.

can anybody give me some idea about this.

education

Thin Film and Green building material.

I am 3rd year mechanical student of Birla Insttitute of Technology,Mesra, Ranchi, India. I have worked on thin films about six months and developed a thin film metal oxide varistor and patent is under progress. I have also worked on Green building material at IIT Bombay, India. In this project we have tried to provide strength to Gypsum board by adding CNT. I am looking for any foreign interns in these summer. Kindly suggest me how can I get that.

hello

is it possible to load (or simple harmonic ...) this structure to make it resonates and see the amplified strains.

What are the steps:

- I have already started extracting the natural frequencies (modal analysis I took 6 modes).

- I still have to apply a harmonic load F (t) = f 0 cos (alpha * t), I can not make this charge (I froze here)

- Instead it will force following the direction of the first response of the structure (the first nature-value) in the direction of the distortion along the + y axis (blue arrow)
