4 billion years evolution in 8 min.
Recently I saw an animation
named “The inner life of the cell”, which was made by Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Harvard University Biovision. It can be watched online only:

Computational and analytical analysis of wave scattering by Elliptical and Spheroidal inhomogeneities.
This is an interesting power point about major characterisrics of Wave Scattering By Elliptical and Spheroidal Inhomogenities.
ES 240, Problem 6, from Lei Qiao
Prior courses in solid mechanics : None.
Undergraduate major: Computational Mathematics
My strength related to this course: familiar with linear algebra and mulitivariables calculus
My weakness related to this course: poor intuition for mechanics models
Research group: Prof. Radovitzky's computational solid mechancis group at MIT
UC Berkeley shows the class video at youtube!
As the mit show the OCW, the berkeley relases the class video at youtube, which could benefit the students all over the world. Enjoy it!
SOLID MECHANICS POST
Solid mechanics was at the top of my course list because of my interest in
strength of
materials. Prior courses in solid mechanics include undergraduate mechanics of
materials and an introduction to solid mechanics course. Mechanical engineering
was my undergraduate major. My main weakness related to this course is the
ability to take a real world problem, which is not spelled out and correctly
apply the theories learned in the course. My primary strength related to this
ES 240 - Sun Min Jung
Hi, my name is Sun Min Jung and I am pursuing a Master of Science in Engineering Sciences. Thus I do not belong to a research group, but I am interested in doing research next semester for a 299r. I will be going into industry as a stress engineer, so this course will prepare me to have the necessary background for the job, as well as prepare me for a 299r next semester.
ES 240 Problem 6
I took the course of Theory of Elasticity during my undergraduate study and the course of Finite Element Method during my master's study. And my major is Engineering Mechanics. Therefore, I have some fundamental knowledge in solid mechanics but not enough, since I have no background in the aspects of plasticity and large deformation theory. I am currently doing research under Professor Suo's group (http://www.seas.harvard.edu/suo/) and my research topic will focus on gel which is a kind of soft material.
HW 2 Problem 6
My name is Eric Kiser. I am part of the seismology group at EPS. I am currently working on a back-projection method for imaging earthquakes. My undergraduate major was in geology at the University of Illinois. Some of the topics we are covering in ES 240 I have seen in my undergraduate geophysics classes. I'm hoping to obtain a better understanding of stress and strain from this course, so I can apply it to physical properties within the Earth.
Pset 2 Problem 6
Hi everyone
- my prior courses are mechancis of materials (ES 120) and intro to material science (ES 190)
- I am pursuing Harvard's co-terminal AB/SM degree, and have finished my undergraduate requirements in engineering scinces with a focus on Mechanical Engineering
- A definate plus is having taken the undergraduate class only a few years ago, and having much of the material presented in a very similar style which i have grown accustomed to. My weakness is always the math.
