Mechanics research

The assignment is due this Thursday which is in 2 days

Choose a topic (ie stress, strain, torsion fatigue etc.) and research new advancements/technology related to the topic and provide a 2-3 page summary of your findings. The requirements for the project summary are as follows:

• Summarize the objective of the project/discovery; how the objective was accomplished; and the findings of the research
• In order to demonstrate that you thoroughly reviewed the researched project, after your summary you must provide a “personal reflection”. The personal reflection may include the following:
• Discuss your opinion of the research approach. What assumptions were made? How did their assumptions affect the results? What could the authors have done differently to attain better data?
• Discuss the findings of the authors. How would a different research approach have affected the findings?
• What were some of the limitations of the study? How would the limitations affect the results?
• Discuss how the project relates or translates into some of the work you have done or to the classes you have taken.
• What did you learn from this research project?
