dear Friend



I am comparing italian universities with Russian ones with US and with Cuban ones. Then I need some figures.



I have been able for example to find that there are about 50% of students-workers in Russia, what about US?

I mean full time workers, not just part time.



But I need to know more about these questions:-

1) how did the number of students in the last 10 years vary?  Increased?

2) how many students are doing economics or management - related subjects?

I’ve just come back from a Winter School on Dielectric Elastomer Transducers, held at Monte Verità, Ascona, Switzerland, 10-16 January 2010.  Lectures were given by various people, covering the theory of electromechanical interaction, design of devices, development of materials, and technologies of manufacturing.  I was asked to give three lectures on the theory.  I attach the slides of my lectures.

How to define pressure direction in ANSYS

Submitted by ladanyi on
education

Hi everyone,

 

I am quite new in ANSYS Classic and now I had to realize a serious problem. After building a steel frame from beam4 elements I tried to define pressure on beams.

I can not find the direction of the pressure. It could work in or perpendicular to the plane of the frame (for example).

Could anybody help me, how to define the direction?

Partial Dislocation Tutorial for FCC Metals

FCC metals
Partial dislocations
dislocation dynamics

It is well known thatdislocations in FCC metals are composed of partial dislocations separated bystacking faults.  When consideringthe reactions of dislocations with each other, such as in DD simulations, it is necessary to determine therelative positions of the partials in order to correctly describe theconfigurations that are created in the reactions.  Here we describe a geometric method for correctly determiningthe relative positions of the partials. The results we obtain can also be found by applying an axiom, or rule,given in the book by Hirth and Lothe. At the end
