Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge all the bad presentations that I made over the years which taught me how to be prepared for making good presentations

Motivation & Goal:

Motivation We are often time-limited for making a presentation.
15 minutes for this class

We tend to explain the topic to ourselves (who know it too well) leaving the audience in relative darkness. I sat through too many presentations that were reporting great work incomprehensibly! Goal Therefore, the goal of this presentation is to provide some guidelines for technical presentations.
Disclaimer: This document is meant to be a general guideline. In your presentations, you are not required to follow it exactly, as some of the things mentioned here may be too time consuming for this course. But, please read through and try your best to follow the general advice.

Background

In this section you should give a brief (2-3 slide long) background of the problem you are presenting.
See for example the following slide

Practical examples, figures, jokes etc. belong here. You are now motivating the audience for why you will be presenting the specific topics that follow.

Background
External forces cause a flexible body to change its shape and size.

These changes are referred to as deformation.

Thermal expansion

Deformation of a body will also occur due to temperature changes (thermal expansion or contraction).
Strain is the measure of deformation in engineering. The material behavior laws scale with strain.

Text, style, figures etc

The following are advice that I find useful in preparing presentations: Keep in mind that the audience is typically there to learn from you

They might not be experts in the details of the problem.

So, describe the problem well at the onset. Use figures as often as necessary, Do not hesitate to repeat figures on different slides, if it is going to help the audience remember definitions, configurations, etc. Avoid long sentences in the text filled slides. There is often a way to say the same more clearly and more concisely. Colorful backgrounds, unusual fonts, too much animation could detract from the content of the presentation. Use these as necessary, and to make a point! Use font sizes and colors that will be visible.

Try to avoid slides filled only with text, such as this one!

Text, style, figures etc

Consider using the Outline slide to make transitions between major headings Like I am doing in this presentation

At this day and age use of nice figures is almost expected.

If you borrow figures and tables from other peoples work give them proper credit! Dont have to give the entire citation

Content sections
Prepare organized, and informative slides

Most engineering analysis are based on Newtons Laws: First Law: If the resultant force acting on an object is zero:
It will remain at rest, if it were originally at rest OR It will move with constant speed in a straight line, if it were originally in motion.
(resultant force acting on it zero = forces acting on it are balanced)

Second Law: If the resultant force acting on an object is not zero: the object will have an acceleration a proportional to the magnitude of the resultant force |F| and in the direction of the resultant force.

i 1 Third Law: The forces exerted by two object on each other are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

healthy 1/3-coverage

The strains for the 5 x 6 mm Bicon implant were found to be in the range for vertical load of 100 N. No-coverage The peak strains in the cancellous bone are reduced as the implant is placed deeper in the bone. The peak strains in the cancellous bone increase in case there is less cortical bone. For totally submerged case the sloping shoulder of the implant resists Sinan Mft the loading, provided osseointegration took place. If bone grows around the abutment, then the outer periphery of the abutment could also contribute to load reduction.

Present your results well

Summary and Conclusions

Stability of an accelerating string subjected to two frictional guides is investigated using the finite element method and the Floquet theory. A system with sinusoidally varying transport velocity becomes unstable for cases where the maximum velocity V0 is greater than the critical transport velocity of the non-accelerating system Vcr. A small number of instabilities occurred when V0 < Vcr. The friction force introduces more unstable points where V0 < Vcr Frictional instabilities were relatively mild, as compared buckling. Springs help reduce the instability Guide location affects the stability. More physical insight may be gained by investigation of wave propagation through numerical interation.
