In this post, you'll see how to add an inset curve to a Matplotlib plot. An inset curve is a small plot laid on top of a main larger plot. The inset curve is smaller than the main plot and typically shows a "zoomed in" region of the main plot …
In this post, we will complete a problem that might come up in an introductory Materials Science and Engineering class. We'll calculate the number of vacancy defects in a material using Python.
The following is a calculation of the number of vacancy defects in a material. All crystalline and poly-crystalline …
Offset piston motion is one of the classic types of engineering dynamics motion that belong to a category of 4-bar motion. Piston motion is the type of motion that the piston in a cylinder of a car engine goes through as the crankshaft rotates.
Offset piston motion has the same …

In this post, you will learn how to create y-y plots with Python and Matplotlib. y-y plots are a type of line plot where one line corresponds to one y-axis and another line on the same plot corresponds to a different y-axis. y-y plots typically have one vertical y-axis on …
In a previous blog post, I wrote about how to incorporate a few software design principals into the code written by scientists. This post is a follow up on one specific software design principle that can be used by scientists: testing
Below are some practical ideas about how to incorporate …
