@RuobingB @lucadalzilio @gb0n My plasticity notes have some nonlinear kinematics. I don't think I cover that material in many other courses.

@ZiaJavanbakht @VTojaga @MCSlab_uiuc @lucadalzilio @RuobingB Here they are Zia. I hope they are of use.

@VTojaga @MCSlab_uiuc @lucadalzilio @RuobingB Thanks. Your comment is appreciated.

[Chad Landis @ChadMLandis]

@lucadalzilio @RuobingB Sorry, I should have tagged @gb0n .

@lucadalzilio @RuobingB Not as fancy as slides, but my handwritten notes are here:

They have strong influences from my academic predecessors, Beltz, McMeeking, Rice, and Hutchinson.

@1Biotensegrity @ManuelKRausch1 Does the context make it clear?

getting into university now vs when your professors applied to university

@jdolbow Sure, a conference might restrict what is done at their venue, but that does not stop us from recording our talks in our offices on Zoom and posting them. I think registration fees are already getting out of hand so adding costs at conferences for recording is a bad idea imho.

[Chad Landis @ChadMLandis]

@jdolbow I do think that makes finding resources for students and those who don't otherwise have the funds to attend live meetings a critical job for organizers or even better for the organization hosting the meeting as the chairs are usually volunteers that are already stretched thin.3/3

[Chad Landis @ChadMLandis]

@jdolbow Then they are not linked to a given conference. I don't think that a virtual conference can ever be as productive as in person. The interactions outside of the meeting rooms simply cannot be reproduced virtually unless we start setting up virtual bars and restaurants. 2/3

@jdolbow Made this on Sunday. Everyone loved it, so this will enter the rotation.

[Chad Landis @ChadMLandis]

@jdolbow That looks fantastic. What cut of beef?

[Chad Landis @ChadMLandis]

@jdolbow @MichaelEMann I'll have to take a look. It's frustrating that very simple models can be used as teaching tools to debunk at least half of the nonsense that is shoveled out there. But then even "simple" models require more scientific literacy than most of the general population cares to master.

Better than Franklin’s? We’ll see.

[Chad Landis @ChadMLandis]

@zhigangsuo ... when that description is wrong?

[Chad Landis @ChadMLandis]

@zhigangsuo ... model of reality. As you say, all models are wrong and some are useful. So if I say quantity X is a scalar and perform operations on it as if it is a scalar and make useful predictions with that description, then shouldn't it be up to you to provide the experimental proof of
