Hello,
My name is Pawel and I am a Junior in Harvard College, studying Mechanical and Materials Science and Engineering.
The only course in solid mechanics I've taken so far is the Harvard's undergraduate intro course ES 120 - I guess it's similar to intro courses offered at other universities. Bits and pieces of solid mechanics also appeared in some other courses, but mostly in a very basic form.
Hi everyone, very glad to see you here. My name is Kejie Zhao, a first year phd student working in Prof.Zhigang Suo's group (www.seas.harvard.edu/suo). My concentration is solid mechanics with the same name of this course, it also signifies its importance to my future research. I graduate from Xi'an Jiaotong University in China before coming to Harvard. There I obtained my bachelor and master degree in Engineering Mechanics and Solid Mechanics respectively.
Hello.
My name is Sung Hoon Kang and I am a second year graduate student of Applied Physics. I did my undergraduate study in Materials Sciene and Engineering at Seoul National University, Korea.
Professor Ed Berger, Univeristy of Virginia Mechanical Engineering, is featured in the Chronicle of Higher Education for his use of web technologies and, in particular, "video solutions" for teaching undergraduate mechanics courses.
PhD Position: Solid Mechanics/Biomechanics at KTH-Stockholm
A four to five-year PhD position focusing on the analysis of multi-scale phenomena in diseased blood vessels including atherosclerotic plaques has recently been opened at KTH Solid Mechanics. The position is fully supported by the Swedish Research Council.
I am delighted to announce on behalf of Elsevier that Professor Michael Ortiz of CalTech has won the very first Rodney Hill Prize in Solid mechanics in reconition of his body of research during the decade 1998-2007. The prize will be presented at ICTAM in Adelaide on 27 August by Y.S. Chi, Vice Chairman of Elsevier immediately prior to Michael's Hill Prize lecture.
