Scalars are quantities that have magnitude only; they are independent of direction.
Vectors have both magnitude and direction. The length of a vector represents magnitude. The arrow shows direction.

The programme for the 28th Risø International Symposium on Materials Science has now been finalized (see http://www.risoe.dk/Conferences/symp28/programme.aspx ).
The Symposium is held at Risø National Laboratory, The Technical University of Denmark, 3-6 September 2007.
Hello, I'm working in my doctoral thesis. I work in drying cracks in soils. At the moment I'm starting to implement my code but I want to start with simplest case.
My problem is high nonlinear and for this reason I need to solve for example flow in unsaturated porous media. Are there any code in matlab to solve nonlinear problems in 1D ? for flow in porouos media or for heat transmition it could be useful for me.
Thank you very much.

An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Dusan Krajcinovic, retired professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Arizona State University, passed away on August 10, 2007, after a long illness. Dusan was active in the mechanics community. In addition to his teaching and research activities, he was a past member and chair of the Applied Mechanics Divison of ASME. He also served a term on the U. S. National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. He authored the book Damage Mechanics published by North-Holland in 1996. He will be missed by all those who knew him.

R&D Positions in Combustion and Fluid Dynamics
We have several full-time openings for engineers/scientists at the Ph.D. level or MS and equivalent.
1. Combustion Job Description:
• Test and model the combustion of chemical and biological agents (small scales tests in house and large-scale tests at national facilities.)
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.
