 (topic 1 and topic 2 are totally different talks)

(1) Nano-Engineered Mechanics: Why Nano?

Presenter David Hui,  90 minutes talk

whynano engineering is a new field, what is nanotechnology? How the length scale play a critical role in hybrid materials.  The talk focus on the transition from metal to composite to nanomaterials.  The emphasis is on nanomechanics and how nanomaterials can be put to useful engineering applications. The talk will include three reasons for using nano, and will include nano-engineering in damage mechanics and impact dynamics.  The critical component of design is safety of materials usage.  The nanomaterials is more expensive, and thus, their use is limited to the case when the same design and use of structures cannot be done by using composites (or metals). 

(2) How To Write Papers To Enhance Journal Acceptance?

Presenter David Hui,  90 minutes talk

The criteria for journal acceptance will be discussed, and explained.  This will include 11 tips, and detailed descriptions on what an editor willlook for, and why a paper is accepted or rejected.  This talks will enablestudents and professors to pay special attention on abstracts, introduction,

methodology, results and conclusions.  The talk will also involve how to conduct research to get the best results, and how to write MS or Ph.D. theses.
