h-indices of Timoshenko medalists
In preparing cases for faculty appointments, my colleagues in other fields often ask about citations of each candidate and his or her comparees. Despite obvious resistance, my colleagues give following reasons:
Everything is miscellaneous (Video)
While preparing a talk on iMechanica , I came across the following video "Information R/evolution" by Michael Wesch, an assistant professor of anthropology at Kansas State University. This thought provoking video echoes a recent comment on "The future of knowledge?"
Enjoy!
How to deal with the constitutive integration in plasticity?
Forums
Plastic theory has been developed systematically. As a beginner, however, some questions have confused me for a long time.
As is well known, the constitutive integration must be deal with in the flow theory. Instead of the explicit algorithm such as M-iteration, the implicit one - stress update algorithm - has been attractive for its simplicity, the most famous of which is rp (return mapping) for J2 flow theory.

Graduate Student or Graduate Employee?
Lately I have been thinking that "Graduate Student" is a misnomer. The correct title should be "Graduate Research Assistant" or "Graduate Engineer". After more than a year spent in industry, I think that there really is no difference in the work done. Except that the work environment is more flexible in academia.

Kindle - The Future of Ink, part 2
A year ago in my first post, The Future of Ink, I explored e-ink technology and the e-book concept when the potential was still largely unseen. But since then, the industry has completely transformed, and the prospect of the e-book is beginning to be realized.
Science, as some see it...
I came across some content I used to have on my webpage a long time ago.
Wing Kam Liu won the 2007 Robert Henry Thurston Lecture Award
At the 2007 ASME Congress, in Seattle, Professor Wing Kam Liu won the 2007 Robert Henry Thurston Lecture Award. Wing Kam was a past chair of the Applied Mechanics Division, and has made seminal contributions in the field of computational mechanics.
