Does a radially expanding cylinder bend?
The Koiter-Sanders-Budiansky bending strain measure and a nonlinear generalization
We know from strength of materials that non-uniform stretching of fibers along the cross section of a beam produces bending moments. But does this situation necessarily correspond to a 'bending' deformation? For that matter, what do we exactly mean kinematically when we talk about a bending deformation?

Most departments of Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Aerospace Engineering have a required course called variably "Strength of Materials", "Introduction to Solid Mechanics", etc. In most departments, the content of the coure is mainly about static, elastic deformation of rods, shafts, beams and columns. It might be a good idea to share your thoughts on this course.
What sort of conferences do you prefer to go to? Conferences that cover a range of topics or those that are specialized?

"Students Turn"
Here is a hot topic" Overlaps in our knowledge structures " on iMechanica for all of the students!! This belongs to how students iMechanica can be developed or how students can improve it! Please read the comments and let the others know your ideas about this developements. You will find some suggestions there also. With all students ideas collected, there will be a solution to improve current situation for students section. I can say that page and comments are just for students to say how they like their iMechanica to be.

Can iMechanica replace mechanical seminars in the future?
Reading the article, future role of iMechanica (node/908) posted by Teng (user/10), I am thinking that iMechanica may replace mechanical seminars, lectures conducted by invited mechanicians, in the future.
Academic seminars have several functions: first, to exchange information; second, to build up connections.
