My name is Igemi Ekoku, and I am studying Aerospace Engineering. Do I get a point for this?

Dear Moderators:

Is there anyway not to show the posts from my class (including mine) on “recent comments”?

Too many student posts (around 170 students) and my discussions with them will crowd the space of the "recent comments" section, which should be reserved for more advanced discussions that come up.

Any other suggestions on the classroom behaviours that may not be appropriate for iMechanica?

Please send me any tutorial problem on thermal analysis of laminated composite plate usinng Ansys Finite Element Software.

do u have any tutorial for Analysis of composites using ANSYS...if so please send it to

i would be very grateful to you.....awaiting u r reply

The 2-day conference of biophysics in Manchester had just finished recently. It is really a meeting with a tight schedule and lots of new stuffs.

The meeting took place in the new building of multi-decipline biocenter in Manchester University. One interesting speech was given by Prof. Andrew J. Turberfield 

Dear Freinds,

I need help to develop a boundary element code for FRACTURE Mechanics applications (for Isotropic & Laminated structures).

Does anybody know how to represent a fiber-reinforced annulus part: ground substance is hyperelastic with neo-hooke coefficient; fiber-reinforcement are elastic?

Part 3 of Elements of Elasticity. Please see attached.

hello fellow and future engineers/mechanicians i just want to say that I think mechanics is really cool and especially taught by Henry Tan! I hope this gets me a few points ;-)

when we talk about magnetism, we use Ising Model or Heisenberg model

if possible can you give me some suggestion about these two model for (one dimensional, two dimensional)
