A video lecture on a newly developed theory to determine material properties from observed kinematic data, e.g. digital image correlation data. This may be useful for a range of investigations into heterogenous mechanical properties. 

EML Webinar on June 17, 2020 will be given by Prof. Ole Sigmund at the Technical University of Denmark via Zoom meeting. Discussion leader: Sulin Zhang, Penn State University

Title: Topology Optimization – Status and Perspectives

This collection of videos was created in ~1969 to explain fluid mechanics in an accessible way for undergraduate engineering and physics students. See http://web.mit.edu/hml/notes.html for notes associated with these videos.

In these Messenger Lectures on "The Character of Physical Law," originally delivered at Cornell University and recorded by BBC Nov. 9-19, 1964, physicist Richard Feynman offers an overview of selected physical laws and gathers their common features into one broad principle of invariance. From 1945 to 1950, Feynman taught theoretical physics at Cornell. He went on to accept a professorship at Caltech and was named co-winner of the 1965 Nobel Prize in physics.

Challenge yourself to snap a spaghetti stick in half by bending two ends. It always snaps into three or more pieces, but not two. But why? Indeed this phenomenon has puzzled many people, including the great Richard Feynman, for many years. The puzzle was only solved in recent years. Slow mo videos by ultrahigh speed camera reveal why.
