Cubic symmetry

Submitted by ramdas chennamsetti on Fri, 06/13/2008 - 12:32

Hi all!!!

Could anybody please give some examples of materials possessing cubic symmetry (these materials need three independent elastic material properties).

Thanking you,

THINKING NEW MATERIAL

Hello,everyboday, i am an engineer about material testing,and i do interest in this fields,to be professional or not to be ? I need your answer,and EURO 2008 is coming now , enjoy it . Who want to talk about the mechanica history of Asia ?

The Paris equation

Submitted by raulito on Thu, 06/12/2008 - 14:58

The Paris equation should correctly be referred to as the ERDOGAN-PARIS equation, maybe some more names may be needed.

LEFM is a term bandied about in the text books, but very few texts know how to define what it means and how it applies.

You can take my course. What happened to the earlier posts about my course.

Anyone who contributes to my DORN-RAJNAK or HARPER DORN will be given credit.

Domain structures of ferroelectric nanotubes controlled by surface charge compensation

Ferroelectric nanotubes

Domain structures

Charge compensation

Ferroelectric nanotubes have potential application in inkjet printing and drug delivery due to their piezoelectric property and unique geometry. For different applications, different electrical boundary conditions are applied to ferroelectric nanotubes. In the present work, domain structures in ferroelectric nanotubes (FNTs) under different electrical boundary conditions are predicted through a phase field model. Simulation results show that domain structures are highly dependent on the compensation of polarization-induced surface charges.

M Tech/ME and B Tech/BE Projects Available in Pune (Mech., CS, etc.)

Computational Engineering

Experimentation

I have quite a few ideas for MTech/ME/BTech/BE degree projects. The projects may be suitable in many different branches, including Mechanical, Computer Science, Metallurgical, Aerospace, Civil, etc. (In a few cases, MSc/M Phil students of departments like Physics or Computer Modeling and Simulation would be suitable too.)

All these projects are available for the new academic year (2008-09), at Pune, India.
