Summer of the 1st year of graduate study where everyone tries their hand at research. well i did not have a great experiance i would say. my thirst for theoretical mechanics went on a high and there i was in the midst of viscoelastcity and plasticity. The abaqus model went begging for a few days and i was enjoy mechanics at its best. of course, i had an elementary model ready. then i talk to a couple of people who have had a lot of experiance on shear walls and they say what you are trying to model is almost impossible. they said i better start getting an experimental setup underway. now there i was at the height of frustration, wasted all summer, of course enjoyed mechanics, but then all my modeling using FEM has gone to the bin.
i guess i better be optimistic to come up with a breakthrough model and also do the experiments to verify that.
anyway my advisor will soon be here to guide me out, i hope i am heading somewhere even though there is something that tells me..................
