PHD Route or Multiple degree route?
Can I ask wat substantial benefits are there as a mechanical engineer to do an MBA as a post-graduate degree,rather than doing a PHD in Mechanical Engineering.Valuable adviice would b highly appreciated.

Are there any online courses for fatigue and fracture?
I have seen many lecture notes on general topics like stress, strain, tensor etc..
But, I am more interested in learning about fatigue and fracture mechanics.
Please let me know, if there are any online courses, for the above given topics.
Thanks,
Namratha.
Inconsistency of Biography of Tsien Hsue-Shen
Tsien Hsue-Shen, an expert of mechanics, the “King of Rocketry” of China, lived in US for twenty years long. Iris Chang (by a book in 1995) and Judith R. Goodstein (by a report of a conversation with Lee Alvin DuBridge in 2003) gave accounts of Tsien’s biography.

rotordynamics analysis by PATRAN and NASTRAN
Hi guys，
Is there anybody use PATRAN and NASTRAN to simulate rotor-bearing sysytem.
After modeling the shat and meshing it, I don't know which element type can be used to
analysis the bearing than contain cross stiffness and damping coefficients.
The following is an exmple:
