Community Standards for iMechanica
As a moderator here on iMechanica, I have deleted a few posts recently that were clearly spam. As iMechanica grows and becomes more visible within the mechanics community and the broader internet community, we can expect the frequency of these kinds of posts to increase.
Hugoniot equation
The Rankine-Hugoniot equation governs the behaviour of shock waves (node/1245#comment-2327) normal to the oncoming flow.

Equations of State
An equation of state is a formula describing the interconnection between various macroscopically measurable properties of a system.
In physics and thermodynamics, an equation of state is a relation between state variables. More specifically, an equation of state is a thermodynamic equation describing the state of matter under a given set of physical conditions. It is a constitutive equation which provides a mathematical relationship between two or more state functions associated with the matter, such as its temperature, pressure, volume, or internal energy. Equations of state are useful in describing the properties of fluids, mixtures of fluids, solids, and even the interior of stars.

USNCCM Invited Session: Stress Evolution at the Nanoscale
The U. S. National Congress on Computational Mechanics will be held in San Francisco, CA July 23-26 2007 (see link for conference below). As part of the symposium, "Modeling and Simulation of Nano Materials and Mechanics", an invited session discussing stress evolution at the nanoscale will be held. This session will foster discussion of outstanding computational challenges to understanding and predicting stress evolution during growth of materials at the nanometer length scale. Registration information for the meeting can be found via the link below.

This is the last homework set for ES 242r / ENGM 940
ES 241 Advanced Elasticity Final Examination
Update on 23 May 2009: I'm adding links to the slides as they are uploaded.
The final exam will take the form of a pedagogical workshop. We have 8 students taking the class for credit. I have divided the lecture notes into 8 parts as follows.
IBM Airgap Microprocessors enabled by self assembly (Video)
An earlier post by Xiaohu Liu reported IBM's latest progress in microprocessors. IBM has figured out how to control and perfect the self assembly process to create trillions of tiny, nano-sized holes across a chip, which speed electrons that flow across wires inside the chip and reduce the power consumed by 15 percent.The following short video may help us understand a little bit more about the new technology. More videos, audio and images on this are available here (free, but registration needed)
Enjoy.
