iMechanica Poster

Submitted by yoursdhruly on

publicity

I created this one page poster for publicizing iMechanica, primarily in schools among students, where I think a lot of students are unaware of iMechanica. I hope I am not infringing on any copyright rules or negatively impacting iMechanica's image and sensitivities. Would it be okay to print this out and post it on notice boards in school? Also, please let me know if I can improve on the design or add/remove any components. I will resubmit the final version as a pdf for student volunteers to print (if it is acceptable).

Thanks for your time,

Dhruv

To who concern, 

I am currently a Mechanical & Maintenance Engineering PhD candidate in the University of Manchester. My research is focused on measurement technique in condition monitoring for machinery maintenance. My project is “Using an Optical Sensor to Measure the Instantaneous Rotating Speed of Machinery as Non-Contact Measurement”.

Instantaneous angular speed (IAS) has been more and more popular to be investigated in condition monitoring of machinery, such as diesel engines, pumps, electrical motors, and compressors.

Shape Memory Alloys

Hi Dear fellow Mechanicians

I am Ali Nojoumi a M.Sc. Civil engineer and I'm modleing shape memory alloys using in concrete shear walls to reduce the effects of earthquakes...

making my Model by ABAQUS, I should use UserSubroutine to define such SuperElastic behavior How can I manage that and   have anyone ever done this?

I would be glad to have your suggestions or any contribution.

thanks alot; AliNojumi@GMAIL

Recently, Prof. Suo and several of us students have been discussing the possibility of increasing student presence and activity on iMechanica . With this in mind, two of us: Mahdi Kazemzadeh and I, have identified three important issues we would like to get your thoughts on. Please comment and let us know what you think, even if you are not a student. Also, if you wish to add any more issues you think we should look at, please post your thoughts in this regard as well.

Productivity tools associated with the Internet

students

One of the mission statements of iMechanica is to use the Internet to enhance communications among mechanicians. It seems that the top three uses of the Internet among many of us are

  • Emails
  • PDF
  • Google search 

It might be useful, and fun, for us to share the experience with these and other tools associated with the Internet.  I'll start a list of tools that I have found exceptionally useful.  All these tools are free of charge.
