I won't get into the details, but needless to say that I'm quite unhappy at my current job and have been for several months. During that time I've been applying for a handful of other jobs but I've just about lost patience with my current position to the extent that I've been considering leaving...
I've been working professionally as a mechanical engineer for about a year now and am fairly introspective by nature. One thing I never thought would be an issue in my career would be my tendency to think too much about things. During university the only negative feedback I could attribute to it...
Throughout my brief professional career so far as a mechanical engineer I've noticed that a lot of what gets done seems to be based purely on experience and the notion of "I know this is the best answer because it just is". I then find myself doing the same thing with tasks suitable to my small...
Hi everyone,
I'm just wondering if anyone ever had an opportunity to do an engineering PhD through a company? To be more specific, something along the lines of working with the company in some area of research and development in combination with an academic side.
I'm asking just to gain some...
Hey everyone,
A bit of background about me. I recently finished my degree in mechanical engineering and am searching for my first job. I did a mechanical vibration based thesis as well as several elective courses on various aspects in the field.
Long story short I realized that I like the...
Hi guys,
For FEM validation I need to be able to come up with a theoretical solution for the vibration of a combination structure consisting of a cylindrical shell which runs into a block of comparable dimensions.
I am familiar with the theory behind the vibration of cylindrical shells, but...
Hi, I'm trying to verify mechanical models of shells with certain textbook data so I can then use the same parameters to make conclusions.
To simplify the question, I basically want to be able to to parameterize a specific mode shape (say n=1, m=1) in the modal analysis so I can get a response...
