I'm studying Materials Science & Engineering and there's a whole side of it dedicated to hard materials (I guess you mean everything related to steel resistance?), metallurgy, micro-structure of materials, how they behave when strain, torsion, etc is applied, how to reinforce them for a specific...

What I personally do is, during class and lecture, I take notes on flying sheets but focus very much on understanding what the professor is explaining rather than concentrating on the beauty of my scripting. In a 2-hrs class session, I usually end up with 20-25 absolutely repellent note pages...

Hello, Happy new year to each and every one of you, wish you all the best ;) Concerning the effect of the rotating blades, it isn't included in my study. In fact, even the contact between the tower and the ground and the wind turbine isn't included - the only concern is the tower by...

Thank you all for your answers, I think I'm done with the sunlight criteria. However, the choice of material might not be the best as some of you said. Using regular steel (instead of the more expensive carbon steel?) and painting it every 10-15 years may be a good solution since my only...

That's what I think too, but I see no scientific argument to defend that position. I'm not supposed to say in front of my professors "I wouldn't worry" if I don't have a strong number in hand to prove it. Well the first idea that comes to mind is that the heat will be transferred to the...

Hello, For my Mechanical Engineering project, I'm working on a wind tower. One of the specifications we have to respect is a 50 years resistance to sunlight. We've chosen inox steel as the primary material (after calculating the various constraints due to the wind the the rotor up on the...

Thank you, this looks promising and within my reach.

This problem is presented in 2 questions. 1) Find the primitive of \frac{1}{x^4 + 1} This is done, no particular problem. You get this: http://image.bayimg.com/d9ac5052a83d5808955a7a647c6cb7343f9ace1f.jpg 2) Deduce the primitive of \frac{1}{(x^4 + 1)^3} from the primitive of...

Thanks for the answers. I'm going to try rewriting 1/(x4+1) in partial equations and see what I can get.

Hello, This is the initial problem: Find the primitive of 1/(x4+1) i've done this, the value of the primitive is this ugly looking expression: http://image.bayimg.com/d9ac5052a83d5808955a7a647c6cb7343f9ace1f.jpg Now the question asked is to deduce the primitive value of 1/(x4+1)^3 from...

If your university has some partnership with american or Canadian universities, consider going on a few months exchange. If you get good grades there, they might propose you a PhD thesis. That's what of my friend did.

Hello, I registered to this forum after reading your topic. I had the exact same problem with my own parents. They wanted me to enter Medical School while I wanted to become an Engineer. My advice: Never give up your dreams. You're the one who'll be undertaking these studies, not your...
