Research statement
Hello All Researchers,
I'd like to know your opinion about some key points that make a research statement so effective. There are so many information, tips and advices in the internet. But, I am looking for your personal experiecne to write simple, quick and effective research staement. I would appreciate if all of you share with me some your tips.
Best Luck,
Hadi

Ph.D. opportunities in ME @ CU-Boulder
I am currently accepting applications for two Ph.D. students starting in Spring or Fall 2012. The students will join my research group (http://www.colorado.edu/MCEN/people/faculty/xiao.html ) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Colorado Boulder.
Failure of Bonded Glass
Forums
I work for an optics company and many of its products contain lenses that are bonded together with a very thin (~0.010mm) UV curing adhesive (Norland Adhesives NOA61 is the most common). Up until recently we have never had any issues with the strength of the bond. However we have recently had a particular design fail during a temperature cycle so I am tasked with looking at why, and how to keep it from happening in the future. The temperature range isn't too scary, -40 to +85C.

Effect of temperature on the stability of dielectric elastomers
Dielectric elastomer (DE) is a kind of electroactive polymer material,
capable of large deformation up to 380%. However, under conservative
operating conditions, DE is susceptible to instability with a small
deformation due to various modes of failure, including electrical
breakdown, electromechanical instability (EMI), loss of tension and
rupture by stretch. This paper proposes a free energy model in the
thermodynamic system of DE involving thermoelastic strain energy,
electric energy and purely thermal contribution energy to obtain the
stability conditions of all failure modes. The numerical results
indicate that the increase in temperature can markedly contribute to
improving the entropy production, the actuation stress and the critical
