Cubic symmetry
Hi all!!!
Could anybody please give some examples of materials possessing cubic symmetry (these materials need three independent elastic material properties).
Thanking you,

Zhigang Suo' s lecture in NingBo University,China
On May 28 , Suo arrived to NingBo University who was invited by Ji Wang, a famous professor special on SAW. Suo gave his lecture about his recent research work which won hot applause. Suo had a discuss with the professors of NingBo university about some mechanical problems.
Material testing machine
Hello,everyboday, i am an engineer about material testing,and i do interest in this fields,to be professional or not to be ? I need your answer,and EURO 2008 is coming now , enjoy it . Who want to talk about the mechanica history of Asia ?
The Paris equation
The Paris equation should correctly be referred to as the ERDOGAN-PARIS equation, maybe some more names may be needed.
LEFM is a term bandied about in the text books, but very few texts know how to define what it means and how it applies.
You can take my course. What happened to the earlier posts about my course.
Anyone who contributes to my DORN-RAJNAK or HARPER DORN will be given credit.
Domain structures of ferroelectric nanotubes controlled by surface charge compensation
Ferroelectric nanotubes have potential application in inkjet printing and drug delivery due to their piezoelectric property and unique geometry. For different applications, different electrical boundary conditions are applied to ferroelectric nanotubes. In the present work, domain structures in ferroelectric nanotubes (FNTs) under different electrical boundary conditions are predicted through a phase field model. Simulation results show that domain structures are highly dependent on the compensation of polarization-induced surface charges.
M Tech/ME and B Tech/BE Projects Available in Pune (Mech., CS, etc.)
I have quite a few ideas for MTech/ME/BTech/BE degree projects. The projects may be suitable in many different branches, including Mechanical, Computer Science, Metallurgical, Aerospace, Civil, etc. (In a few cases, MSc/M Phil students of departments like Physics or Computer Modeling and Simulation would be suitable too.)
All these projects are available for the new academic year (2008-09), at Pune, India.
ENERGY IN THE AGE OF CLIMATE CHANGE - Italy Joins European Nuclear Power Revival
Speaking of Grand Challenges, why we never talk of Energy in Imechanica? There are certainly mechanical implications. And Energy is top of the list at the www.engineeringchallenges.org project.

The Future of Meshless Methods
I joined imechanica almost a year ago and I've been frequently following its interesting discussions, even the most animated ones. I think that a place like this is ideal to foster the exchange of ideas in the scientific community;
Moreover it is fantastic as a simple student like me can interact and easily ask questions to the most important researcher in the field of mechanics.
