Since I am an alum of the University of Minnesota, when I was a PhD student I lived only a few blocks from the site of yesterday's catastrophic bridge collapse in Minneapolis. The statics analysis of a truss is almost the first thing learned by every undergraduate engineering student, and appears to be relevant here. It is interesting to see words like "fatigue crack" and "vibrations" in the news . In light o
House Passes $600 Million Increase in National Science Foundation Budget July 27, 2007 --The U.S. House of Representatives passed an appropriations bill that would increase funding for the National Science Foundation (NSF) by nearly $600 million or 10 percent to $6.5 billion in fiscal year 2008. The bill would put NSF on track to double its budget in less than 10 years.
Cambridge University Press and the Journal of Fluid Mechanics are delighted to announce the launch of The Batchelor Prize, sponsored by the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, to be awarded in recognition of outstanding research in fluid mechanics.
Attached is a post-print of one of my journal papers submitted in 2005. A brief description of my paper is as follows:

ASSOCIATE or ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
EXPERIMENTAL MECHANICS OF MATERIALS
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Wyoming invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position. Applicants are sought at the Associate or Assistant Professor level with expertise in experimental solid mechanics. Areas include but are not limited to the study of heterogeneous material systems, biomaterials, nanomaterials, thin films, fracture, fatigue and damage.
Hi Every one,
Dose any one know where I can get a good Manual/document on "detecting onset of fracture using acoustic emission"?
I heard some say this method of detecting onset of the fracture has lots of error and is not accurate..is this true? if yes,why? Are there other methods to find the onset of the fracture in an experiment?
