I am very interested in performing research in the areas of &lt;br&gt;Solids and Structures, particularly FEM. I have to also state that my BA &lt;br&gt;in mechanical engineering is in "Solid Mechanics" which is one of three &lt;br&gt;sub divisions in Iran (Solid, Fluid, Industrial and &lt;br&gt;manufacturing).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Looking&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;forward to hearing from you soon.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Nabi Nabiollahi&lt;/blockquote&gt;he wrote&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;I se that you are interested in dynamics and control. I am in the &lt;br&gt;structures area.&lt;br&gt;I can not help you much unless you are in the structures area.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I wrote&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Dear Professor &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As you siad I have finalized my application by now and I have sent my &lt;br&gt;transcript + recommendation letters today.

Including introduction to the &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;textbooks and sources, I am impatiently waiting to hear from you.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Thank you very much.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;he wrote :&lt;br&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Hi,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;you need to apply through the website. I can not do any thing until your &lt;br&gt;application is in the process.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I wrote (this was the first letter)&lt;br&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Dear Professor _______&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is Nabi Nabiollahi. I have graduated in B.Eng. Mechanical Engineering &lt;br&gt;in fall 2006, from ____. I am very much &lt;br&gt;motivated to pursue my higher education in a high quality university, &lt;br&gt;which shares my research interests. After studying various universities, &lt;br&gt;I've observed that, besides being a prestigious academic place, the &lt;br&gt;Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of ______ &lt;br&gt;has special interest in Finite Element studies.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I believe as an undergraduate student I have developed a strong background &lt;br&gt;in finite elements; in both theoretical analysis and computer simulation. &lt;br&gt;I have done many course projects dealing with FEA, including:&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; * Stress concentration analysis with ANSYS; Compared with experimental &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;result.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; * FE modeling and analysis of an airplane wing (with symmetric &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;airfoil) with ANSYS.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; * Grid generation study in heat transfer problem, focusing on element &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;types and solving resulting PDE in various domains and conditions.&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; * Designing a mechanism to remove trash from water-canal, using &lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;Solidworks and Abaqus softwares.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have presented a paper on deflection analysis of a RF MEMS switch, on &lt;br&gt;ASME'06 conference, Turkey. In this paper I've investigated linearity and &lt;br&gt;various methods of theoretical analysis.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am also working on dynamic behavior of damaged concrete bridge which is &lt;br&gt;under effect of a moving vehicle with random load and other stationary &lt;br&gt;random forces.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am planning to apply for postgraduate programs at the aerospace &lt;br&gt;department of University of _____, preferably ____. program, for the &lt;br&gt;earliest possible semester. I am heavily dedicated to academic research. &lt;br&gt;My future goal is becoming a researcher in FE studies. I won't be able to &lt;br&gt;make this goal without guidance of a reputed supervisor and a professional &lt;br&gt;atmosphere. I hope that I'll be qualified and admitted to your department &lt;br&gt;and will have the opportunity of your supervision.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My CV and my Turkey conference paper, which are in English, are provided &lt;br&gt;as attachments. It will be so kind of you to let me know how evaluate me &lt;br&gt;for your programs. If there is any further information or documents I &lt;br&gt;shall provide, please let me know. Thanking you in advance.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sincerely&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Nabi Nabiollahi&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
