Academic Links

My
alma mater for my bachelor degree as well as where I am currently
pursuing my doctorate (both in mechanical engineering).
NMML:
The website for the research group of which I am a member, the Nano
Mechanics and Materials Laboratory.
iMechanica: web of mechanics
and mechanicians -
Website dedicated to enhancing communication among
mechanicians.
Essentially the aim of this website is to be the networking site for
mechanicians. This site is a very good place for discussion of
mechanics and general scholarly topics
(like is Elsevier
evil?).
Contributors to the site include many of the most well regarded people
in theoretical, computational, and experimental mechanics. Registration
is open to anyone and everyone, free. As with any social website, the
more people that
join,
the richer the site becomes.
Lecture note on solid mechanics written by
Prof.
Allan
F. Bower of Brown University. Very good notes that I often
refer to before text books.
- EN175:
Advanced Mechanics of Solids - Senior undergraduate course,
excellent introduction reference for solid mechanics. The PDF lecture
notes written at the top of the page are written by Prof.
Huajian
Gao.
- EN222:
Mechanics of Solids - Graduate course in solid
mechanics. The lectures on slip-line fields and limit analysis for
plasticity are very interesting.
- EN224:
Linear Elasticity - Graduate course in linear elasticity.
Like many references in this subject, these notes are mathematically
rigorous. Unlike other references though, many of the in between steps
are shown.
For a comprehensive list of online resources related to mechanics see
this
post.
A
Guide for Grading Exams - For any students wondering how I
grade assignments, I abide by the guide for grading written by
Daniel J.
Solove, an associate professor of law at the George
Washington University Law School.
Non-Academic Links
These are some of the websites that consume my time while I should
probably be working. I hope they can do the same for you.
Digg.com
- A
socially driven news website where the users decide what makes the
front page by voting (unlike other news sources where editors decide
what is news). This website started out with mostly technology news but
now hosts all news topics (technology, science, and gaming are the most
prevalent topics).
Slashdot:
News for nerds,
stuff that matters - Another social news site, but with a
much stronger emphasis on technology.
Useless
account - A website where you can create an account
and then edit your
account details. Thats all. Seriously.
Links will be added as I develop this website.
