Recent events about the financial crisis and generally spread turmoils on Economics and Financial Environments lead me to these conclusions.
Critical Speed: informations, a key issue on finance, reached a critical speed. Maybe this is the "first" critical speed of the system. Speed of informations has reached the same order of magnitude of people's judgement (executives and investors more than others) so there's a sort of over-reaction about actual events.
ASCE, ASME and SES will hold their Joint Conference on Mechanics and Materials on June 24-27, 2009 in Blacksburg, VA. The conference will be chaired by Dr. Ishwar K. Puri, Department Head, Engineering Science and Mechanics, Virginia Tech. The conference web site provides details, including an invitation to submit symposium and organized session proposals, key dates, instructions for the submission of abstracts and registration information.
Hi, I am a master student in Stuttgart University of Germany
I study Computational Mechanics of Materials and Structures
http://www.msc.commas.uni-stuttgart.de/index.html
I am going to finish my master degree in May 2009, and have a plan to do PhD study in Computational Mechanics in the next year,
I also have background in Civil Engineering and Computer Science. Please find my CV attached below.
One of the things that I've thought about often in relation to mechanics is:
We are currently offerring an introductory course on mechanics for junior students for all fields and subjects. It is a so called general knowledge course for students to know more on certain subjects and fields before a decision on choice of a major is made. Since the Mechanics Department in our University has not been popular for so long, we have decided to evangalize our field with more glorious history of Mechanics: Newton, Bernoulli, Euler, Clausius, Faraday, and Einstein.
