education

 The Canadian government offers scholarships ranging between 7500 CDN$ and 10000 CDN$ for graduate students of central/south americas to conduct research internships in Canadian universities. The internships are to last for a duration of 4-6 months.

I am looking for graduate students enrolled in an engineering/scientific program in one of the eligible countries (see below) interested in coming to Polytechnique in Montreal in the next academic year 2012-2013. I have many projects combining fluid and solid mechanics as well as theory and experiments.

After having taught graduate structural mechanics for several years, I am finally
able to write down my lecture notes (attached) for teaching the beam theory. In
the notes, we formulated the complete classical beam model
(extension/torsion/bending in two directions), which is also called
Euler-Bernoulli-Saint beam theory, in three ways: Newtonian method, variational
method, and variational asymptotic method, using 3D elasticity theory as the
starting point. Many self-contradictions of the various assumptions used in both
Newtonian method and variational method are clearly pointed out. The

I wish to invite students and young researchers to the summer school "From Nonlinear Physics to Biology and Medicine" that will be held in Cargèse, Corsica from the 9th to the 21st of July, 2012. 

this book is about designing 2d and 3d modeles.

for any question or guide add comment , i will answer all questions.
