AI Thread Summary
Mechanical engineering primarily focuses on solving engineering problems through mathematical frameworks rather than requiring high levels of creativity. Non-creative individuals can succeed in this field, as creativity is not a core requirement. Academic performance in mechanical engineering can be challenging and demands significant study and effort. Success in exams is largely dependent on the amount of preparation and understanding of the material. Overall, mechanical engineering can be a suitable career for those who are diligent and skilled in mathematics.

I'm not a creative person, would it be suitable for me to pursue a mechanical engineering career? does mech eng require one to be good in designing stuffs? Furthermore, is it difficult to score well in university?

Obtaining a mechanical engineering is not a creative process, it's about solving engineering problems using a mathematical framework. Doing well on an exam is a function of how well one studies, but it is generally not easy and requires a lot of work.

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
