WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Going back to the drawing board is much easier now that researchers have developed a new type of design program called FEAsy.
The program allows the designer to sketch a rough concept of the part and then analyze the part's characteristics while it is still only a drawing, said Karthik Ramani, a professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue University.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Parents who sign their children up for sports as part of an educational experience and to learn about teamwork may be learning some of the same lessons themselves, according to new research from Purdue University.

NASA and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, or AFOSR, have successfully launched a small rocket using an environmentally-friendly, safe propellant comprised of aluminum powder and water ice, called ALICE.
Computer scientists have developed an inexpensive solution for diagnosing networking delays in data center networks as short as tens of millionths of seconds -- delays that can lead to multi-million dollar losses for investment banks running automatic stock trading systems.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Personality traits associated with chronic worrying can lead to earlier death, at least in part because these people are more likely to engage in unhealthy behaviors, such as smoking, according to research from Purdue University.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16, 2009 -- Cleaning oily smears from kitchen countertops, mirrors, garage floors, and other surfaces with plain water -- rather than strong detergents or smelly solvents -- may seem like pure fantasy. But scientists in Indiana today describe what they believe to be a simple and effective state-of-the-art oil stain remover.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - If a lush, protected forest with a winding stream is considered luxury accommodation for a migratory bird, a Purdue University study shows that those birds would be just as happy with the equivalent of a cheap roadside motel.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Researchers are developing a new class of tiny mechanical devices containing vibrating, hair-thin structures that could be used to filter electronic signals in cell phones and for other more exotic applications.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -Purdue University researchers have created magnetically responsive gold nanostars that may offer a new approach to biomedical imaging.
INDIANAPOLIS -- The results of a new study of the pen and paper workarounds employed by healthcare providers who use an electronic medical record system may help make electronic medical records even more useful to health-care providers and the patients they serve.
A study in the Journal of Geography reports that despite increased support for K-12 geography education over a 15-year period, geography knowledge among Indiana college freshmen has not improved.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - There are hundreds of choices when picking a crabapple tree from the nursery, but a Purdue University expert says only a handful are resistant to a widespread fungus or other serious diseases.
MADISON, WI, JUNE 15, 2009 -- Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) losses from tile drains are an underquantified portion of the terrestrial carbon cycle. This is particularly important in the eastern corn belt where tile drainage dominates the agricultural landscape.
