This video records the Xi'an JiaoTong University Commencement Speech in 2015 given by Zhigang Suo, co-founder of iMechanica. The speech was given in Chinese. Keyword: Opportunity. See the script of the speech here. Google translate of the script is here.
This collection of videos was created in ~1969 to explain fluid mechanics in an accessible way for undergraduate engineering and physics students. See http://web.mit.edu/hml/notes.html for notes associated with these videos.

In these Messenger Lectures on "The Character of Physical Law," originally delivered at Cornell University and recorded by BBC Nov. 9-19, 1964, physicist Richard Feynman offers an overview of selected physical laws and gathers their common features into one broad principle of invariance. From 1945 to 1950, Feynman taught theoretical physics at Cornell. He went on to accept a professorship at Caltech and was named co-winner of the 1965 Nobel Prize in physics.

Challenge yourself to snap a spaghetti stick in half by bending two ends. It always snaps into three or more pieces, but not two. But why? Indeed this phenomenon has puzzled many people, including the great Richard Feynman, for many years. The puzzle was only solved in recent years. Slow mo videos by ultrahigh speed camera reveal why. Check out this iMechanica Video with 6+ million view on YouTube.

A well-made video of interview with Professor James R. Rice of Harvard University in 2019
Professor James R. Rice of Harvard University was interviewed by Professor John Rudnicki of Northwestern University in 2019. Professor Rice has made fundamental contributions to the theoretical mechanics of solids and fluids -- that is, problems of stressing, deformation, fracture and flow -- as they arise in seismology, tectonophysics and surficial geologic processes and in civil/environmental engineering hydrology and geomechanics.

This video records an invited talk by Teng Li presented at the 2019 US National Committee of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics annual meeting held at the National Academy Science Building in DC on March 29, 2019. The talk lasts ~35 min. Q&A session starts at 36'00", with some interesting discussions about iMechanica.

If a picture is worth of 1,000 words, a 1-min video is worth of 1.8 million words. 1,000 word/frame x 30 frame/s x 60 s.
LOL, seriously? Maybe not. But a well made video does provide information in an effective and efficient way that is often times impossible via other media.
iMechanica Video is a YouTube channel launched on June 1, 2020 to host videos of mechanics and mechanicians. Just like iMechanica serving as the web of mechanics and mechanicians, iMechanica Video aims to host videos of mechanics and mechanicians.
There is no doubt that plethoras of videos of mechanics and mechanicians already exist online. With the surge of webinars and online teaching in the past several months, more videos of mechanics by mechanicians become available everyday. But these videos of mechanics and mechanicians are scattered here and there. Let’s harness the wisdom of the iMechanica community to locate these videos and aggregate them in a theme YouTube channel. Together, more videos of mechanics and mechanicians facilitate learning, promote research, and foster communication.
We welcome your recommendations and submissions of videos of mechanics and mechanicians of all spectra to this channel, be it
- a video of a seminar (or webinar) on mechanics,
- a video about a mechanician (e.g., an interview),
- a video introducing a recent paper you published,
- a set of videos of presentations in a symposium or a webinar series,
- a whole set of videos of a mechanics course or just a video of a mechanics concept,
- or simply a fun video revealing interesting mechanics,
- …
If the video is already available in YouTube, simply submit the link to the video.
If the video is sitting in your hard drive or somewhere on the cloud, we will be happy to help upload to the iMechanica Video channel for you.
To submit or recommend, please email: iMechanicaVideo@gmail.com
