I gave a seminar at Xian Jiaotong University on 27 October 2009.  I recently found the video of the seminar online.  The seminar was in Chinese, but the slides were in English.

Dear Colleagues,

We are going to demonstrate the possibilities of IOSO Design Optimization Software. Very quick video shots. Just take a glance at it.

Optimization of 3D serpentine cooling passage in turbine blade. 42 design
variables in total.  

Dear Colleagues,

The autovibrations of the bridge over Volga river in the city of Volgograd(Russia) were filmed (not by me) today on 05/21/2010. The amplitude reachedabout 1 m. The bridge opening was just six months ago...

Apparently, either the bridge frame drag was too high or torsional stiffness / damping too low.

In a materials class I am teaching, we show the students a set of videos for mechanical properties, dislocations (with bubble raft model), and strenghening mechanisms. Unfortunately, these videos are really out of date, probably made over twenty years ago. The physics in them remains sound, but the students are often not well impressed due to the poor old VHS quality. I wonder if there exist newly updated versions of similar videos that may be more impressive with the use of more recent technology. I am almost certain it exists somewhere, but don't know how to find it. Your help would be appreciated.

Here is a video which might be helpful for those writing grant proposals (Hat tip to Dr. Aparna Bhatnagar, Director, Postdoctoral Affairs, Northwestern University for the email alert ):

Here is a video from the Seed magazine called Science in Silico. The video shows results from large scale simulations (and visualization) of fractals, microscopic dynamic processes in ribosomes, structure of viruses, bacterial flagellum, turbulence, explosions, and the modelling of cosmological events.
