Prof. Ge’s Advanced Manufacturing and Design Laboratory (http://amd.sutd.edu.sg/) is recruiting PhD students. The Ph.D.scholarships are immediately available in the general areas of functional advanced manufacturing. The research topics can vary based on the student’s background from solid mechanics for soft active materials, UV curable functional polymer development for 3D printing, and development of high resolution multifunctional 3D Printing system.

In the following video, I have tried to explain the concept of principal stress in a more physical way and without involving any mathematical equations, hope you can easily imbibe the concept.

Below is the video link to my first lecture video, where in I tried to demonstrate the failure of brittle materials using simple experiments.
