Graduate students and publishing

Submitted by MichelleLOyen on

publishing

I just stumbled on this very interesting discussion on why science graduate students should publish, regardless of their later career intentions.  I agree with the author on most points, but believe it really comes down to two things: (1) if you aren't going to communicate your results (both good and bad!) then you might as well have not bothered to do the work, and (2) becoming a good writer is a skill that every technical person will need in any career.

Hi,

I am a PhD student and I have just started to work on FEMLAB and was just wondering if someone could help me with FEMLAB. I am using at the moment the PDE modes-Weak forms to solve flow over topography using the lubrication equation. I have implemented the lubrication equations into the subsomain settings and set the boundary conditions  but i do get wrong results. Could you please advice where i might have done wrong.
Any suggestions will be really appreciated.
Many thanks
Catherine

I am new to this. I got a couple of good inputs from this site, so I thot I would join too. I am a PhD student in Clemson univeristy. I am using ABAQUS for my research. Let me get to the question quickly. There are two variables that you can define in a user subroutine called TOL and HTOL. What are these and how can I know more details about this. Any inputs will be appreciated.

Interesting Material: d3o

Submitted by Gopinath Venkatesan on

I came across this web page recently, and it talks about a novel product d3o that can control impact effects by adjusting molecular structure in case of shock loads. If this material becomes a regular apparel material, we may see many Jackie Chans in the future. The material is d3o.

Visit this page to learn more about this material, This is not a SPAM. http://www.d3o.com/index.php

I don't know if you guys knew of this. I guess you do. Is this material really the way it is advertised, or some boasting included?
