    Job interviews and COVID

    I am curious about the current job interview process under the current COVID climate. I am about to graduate with a PhD in mechanical engineering/engineering design from a UK university and am looking to transition to industry. The only reference I've had about the interview process is from a...

    Practical aspects of optimization

    Ahh I see, so something like a staggered approach to doing the assessment, where if the nth "adjacent" component isn't significantly affected then you assume that anything beyond that is also not affected? That does sound quite practical!

    Practical aspects of optimization

    Thanks everyone! I think the bigger question I had in mind for the 3rd paragraph is that where does the buck stop when it comes to assessing a design change in a component. What I can gather from the answers is that even if you make a design change only to the combustor casing you have to...

    Practical aspects of optimization

    I think optimization is great and I love doing them but in the back of my mind there are always a few questions about how useful the results actually are in the context of a greater design programme. Say someone is designing the casing for a combustor in an aircraft engine and he uses...

    Structural analysis of subsystems

    Hello! I am curious about how, in a system, non-local effects from the rest of the system are accounted for when modelling the structural behaviour of an individual subsystem. Say our system is the transmission system of an aircraft engine, which consists of subsystems like the gearboxes...
