The newest book by Dr. Vlado A. Lubarda, Adjunct Professor of MAE, entitled Topics in Solid Mechanics: Elasticity, Plasticity, Damage, Nano and Biomechanics (450 pages), has been published by the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts in its monograph series. This book was printed by the Obod Press (http://www.stamparijaobod.com/istorija.htm) from Montenegro.
SkySweeper Robot Makes Inspecting Power Lines Simple and Inexpensive

 Mechanical engineers at the University of California, San Diego invented a robot designed to scoot along utility lines, searching for damage and other problems that require repairs. Made of off-the-shelf electronics and plastic parts printed on an inexpensive 3D printer, the SkySweeper prototype could be scaled up for less than $1,000, making it significantly more economical than the two models of robots currently used to inspect power lines.
