My small lab, the "Laboratoire de Modelisation et Calcul", LMC@ESME Sudria at the International Conference on Mechanics & Materials in Design, at Albufeira, Portugal. The LMC presented a FEA of rigid plug impact on Ti6Al4v plate at 200 m/s of speed. A great experience for sharing experiences and meeting collegues from all over the world. I hope to ( Read more... )

A great tool for physics and engineering teaching! These apps include soundmeters, accelerometers, and many other useful sensors. The website include some teaching ideas as well. I'll test it soon with my students.

International conferences are probably the main social event for the young researcher. Maybe these events are not entirely necessary for building a career, but still meeting colleagues from all over the world and changing your perspectives is fundamental in the scientific approach for understanding the context of current research. To me, that was ( Read more... )

Sometimes dedication and efforts worth a prize. Today my last research paper on machining is awarded by Institutions of Mechanical Engineering (IMechE). The novelty of this research work is the ability of reducing specific cutting energy in orthogonal cutting by using a high speed air jet. Next objectif is to apply this method to milling. In the ( Read more... )

Energy 2D, a great tool for solving 2D Navier-Stokes fluid-dynamics equations, coupled with thermal problems.

Multi-body mechanical simulation is a must for any engineer aiming to design a mechanical complex system. At the moment I'm testing Silux 2D, in its free version (you can download it hereThe learning curve does not seem to steep, however I'm aware free software often lack of support (but I still deeply love free software). I'll try to make some ( Read more... )

The web blog is supposed to be my research blog. It sound quite serious (and maybe it is), but I realised that nowadays the indipendent young researcher should have a research blog ( Read more... )
