My colleague Richard Rand is one of the world’s experts on nonlinear vibrations. He’s posted his lecture notes (free!) that include topics you won’t find anywhere else, like delay equations and fractional derivatives treated with perturbation methods. ecommons.cornell.edu/bitstre…

I am personally very concerned by the reported ouster of the Director of @spokanehealth, Dr. Bob Lutz. In the face of this pandemic he has worked tirelessly & been a wise, effective guide to us in @spokanecounty & @GonzagaU. It is my hope that this decision can be reconsidered.

“Fluid Mechanics Lectures for Scientists and Engineers”. This is a fantastic collection of films, made about 60 years ago, by the world’s greatest experts in fluid dynamics at that time. The one by G.I. Taylor, on low Reynolds number flow, is extraordinary cosmolearning.org/courses/fl…

To raise awareness on the evolution of COVID, a dashboard, with statistical analysis displayed simply, and an explanatory text.
Understandable by the general public.

As one of the LAB2701 Bachination Projects, Alex Tucker (a recent AU graduate) performed vibration analysis, experimental testing, and design for this asphaltophone (a.k.a., "musical road").
🔈🔛🎶
🚙America’s newest musical road is on #Auburn's campus, but do you know the story behind the spot where science meets art?
🛣️Learn more about our #WarEagleRoad & the Auburn University Samuel Ginn College of Engineering alumnus behind the idea: ocm.auburn.edu/newsroom/news…
