As a member society of the U.S. National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (USNC/TAM) , the objective of the American Academy of Mechanics (AAM) is the advancement of the science and profession of mechanics.
The scope of AAM includes all of the disciplines involved in the modeling and study of the response of inanimate and animate matter to forces and environmental effects.
Elsevier-bashing has become a sport among researchers. The company is singled out, among publishers of research journals, perhaps because it is the largest. We might as well use Elsevier as a representative of the publishers, and hard-working people at Elsevier should not be offended.
A Postdoc position is available at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, to work on the mechanics of biological cilia. In addition, a Ph.D. position is available to work on the mechanics of the cell's cytoskeleton. Both candidates should have a university-degree in biology, physics, materials science or mechanical engineering, with a strong affinity for theoretical/numerical modelling. For a more detailled description, see the attachments below.
i am actually using an laser optical mouse to achieve this. If you any idea or critics, please let me know.
thanks a lot.
This blog focuses on machinery condition monitoring, explosion-proof design, and related issues.
Some topics on instructional design and technology may benefit iMechanica.
Please, can you help me with a
little issue. I am working with the multiphysics modelling of femlab:
Stokes problem, and I need the matrices of the bilinear form, gradient
and divergence operators to create a matlab program. Could you tell me how can I
have this information in the workspace of matlab and how can I use this
information to set up a program? Thakns in advance!
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
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.
In the current time computer and internet helps to everyone
in their daily routine. Thousand of people take help from search engine for
getting knowledge from internet per day. Mostly people use Google one of the
biggest search engine in the internet. As a Google user, you must aware about
the speed and accuracy of Google Search. How exactly Google search for the
particular word and give the right results in the front of the user. No doubt
Google is one of the most powerful search engines, and there is millions of
