To Henry and All,
To Henry and All,Regarding to Henry's distinguish idea about Teaching Mechanics in iMechanica, I am wondering is it an Mechanical topic or an Education one, or even a Management Strategy? The same phenomenon does not only exist in Mechanics education but also in all engineering fields.
Why we struggle Engineering teaching?
I just read Teng Li's entry regarding the launch of SEAS at Harvard. Thanks for posting this interesting information!
On this occasion, I'd also like express my congratulations to Harvard
University in launching the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences
(SEAS) last week! It is terrific that the engineering science community in the Boston area is thriving and developing. Best of luck, and looking forward to fruitful interactions in the future!

The lecture notes are prepared by Prof. Joost Vlassak based on a set of course notes put together by Prof. Suo when he taught ES 240 in 2006, as well as on course notes developed by Prof. Vlassak for ES 246.

I am working on finite element formulation of thermopiezoelectric shell element. i want to incorporate it in Abaqus software as a project work. i would like to know how to add the new element in abaqus.how can i add? Pls do help
Why iMechanica?
iMechanica is an appropriate website for teaching/learning Engineering Mechanics for the following reasons:
Following Andy's recommendation I have been reading Ellis Dill's Continuum Mechanics[1]. In page 75 of the book, we find the
well known result that the constitutive equation for an isotropic hypoelastic
material can be derived from a stored energy function only if
where and are the Lame constants.
