education

I have got the master degree of Solid Mechanics in University of Science and Technology of China. Actually, I have taken several courses related to this subject, such as strength of materials and the theory of elasticity. So, my strength may be that I have some  knowledge about it, but my poor ability to solve PDE or even ODE could be the specific obstacle for studying this course. I will do research in Suo’s group(http://www.seas.harvard.edu/suo/), and my research may be related to soft matters, such as gels.

Can anybody tell whether there is any closed form solution for Green's function in an anisotropic material? If yes it would be great if you share some of the literatures on this topic.

Part 4 of Elements of Elasticity. Please see attached.

This problem set is due on Friday, Oct. 12.

My name's Alison Forsyth, I'm a G2 biomedical engineer at Harvard.  I did my undergrad at Syracuse University where I majored in bioengineering.  Prior courses in solid mechanics are: mechanics of materials, materials processing and properties, and advanced biomechanics.

To all students in ES 240 this semester,

Due to popular demand my office hour is moved from Tuesday to Thursday 4~5pm starting from this week. The location is changed to Rm. 123, Maxwell Dworkin (33 Oxford Street).

Hi,
I am currently working as a Design Engineer-CAE in Bangalore,India.Presently interested in doing a MS/Mtech in the field of Mechanical Design and analysis through a distance learning program/part time course.It would be great if someone suggests an university(in India/abroad) where these kind of courses are offered.
Regards,
Ankita

Dear Moderators:
Is there anyway not to show the posts from my class (including mine) on “recent comments”?

Too many student posts (around 170 students) and my discussions with them will crowd the space of the "recent comments" section, which should be reserved for more advanced discussions that come up.

Any other suggestions on the classroom behaviours that may not be appropriate for iMechanica?

hello fellow and future engineers/mechanicians i just want to say that I think mechanics is really cool and especially taught by Henry Tan! I hope this gets me a few points ;-)

when we talk about magnetism, we use Ising Model or Heisenberg model

if possible can you give me some suggestion about these two model for (one dimensional, two dimensional)

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?

can anyone sove this?

This is 2 problems can anyone sove?

This problem set is due on Friday, Sep. 28, 2007 in class.

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:
