My previous exposure to solid mechanics is tangential beyond a first semester course in beam bending, beam stretching, and beam torsion. I am a master of Mohr's circle, and am looking to extend my practice in solid mechanics to include interesting problems and applications of the theory of solids.
I studied Engineering Mechanics as an undergraduate, and received a second degree in Mathematics, with a concentration in Applied Math.
Hi All,
--I have taken 3 previous courses in solid mechanics.
--My undergraduate major was mechanical engineering, with a concentration in vehicle dynamics.
-- My strength is that I've had some of this material before. My weakness is that I haven't seen it for a few years.
--I'm a masters student so I don't have a research group. I do work part time for a hedge fund though.
--Solid mechanics will add an interesting dimension to my education.

I have not taken any courses focusing on mechanics before, though ES51 (Computer Aided Machine Design) briefly touched on some topics. My undergraduate major was Physics. My strengths will be my comfort with mathematics as well as my exposure to professor Howard Stone's undergraduate class in Fluid Mechanics (ES123). My weakness will definitely be my lack of exposure to any other mechanics courses.
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.
