I am one of those guys who wake up every morning, doing things that they like and when the day is over, go to bed feeling 'satisfied'. Hmm, it rhymes, that's surely a good thing. Rhyme as one reads, patterns one may find, either should one be, mathematically fine. Ohh..I should stop all these..Lets get genius, oppss..sorry..serious. The homogenous solution of the differential equation can be obtained by obtaining first the roots of the characteristic equation..opps sorry...not this serious (genius in that matter).Okay, okay, as written beneath the 'CONTACT' section on the right-hand side of this web page (can you find it? come on, its the blue wording), I happen to be the great 'Dr. Airil'. How great?You're doubting it, aren't you? Here are the evidences (due to Allah blessing, of course). 1) I got my PhD from Imperial College, London, the best engineering school in Europe hence better than Cambridge or Oxford (according to the recent THES world ranking). 2) I was supervised by David A. Nethercot, the best structural enginering professor in the world. 3) I am the inventor of the PCFC beam (this is what my thesis was all about). 4) I have developed a computer program which is general to receive any cross-sectional shapes of composite beams by defining the arbitrary shape using functions (published in Engineering Structures). 5) I am the first to derive and solve the differential equation analytically describing the partial interaction of composite beam allowing friction (to be published in the Journal of Constructional Steel Research). 6) I am also the first to provide a non-iterative procedure to determine the moment capacities of composite beams for various stress stages after able to come out with the single-rule function in representing the possible stress distributions using Fourier Series (two papers have been submitted to the Engineering Structures). 7) I teach solid mechanics (tensors, potential energy and things like that, you know). 8) I write songs (you can listen to the songs I wrote in YouTube.com by typing either Airil or sametok). 9) I'm very good as a badminton player, turning pro next year (by this time you should have shouted "you wish!!"). Still not convinced? You just got to be my phd student then.
Ok, lets stop this 'self-centred' and 'self-obessed' writing and just concentrate on the romantic side of me. I am married to the loveliest and the prettiest woman one can ever had, Halinawati Hirol is the name (except for my father who is having the loveliest of the loveliest and prettiest of the prettiest, that is my mom). We both share four childrens, Haziq, Hasya, Nuha and Binish. My wife has just started her PhD and she is amused by engineering mathematics too. She is pursuing her study in the finite element formulation for ditributed hydrologic modelling. And she has me as a husband, huh, how about that?. I guest she must have developed such an amusement for mathematics during my PhD undertaking after watching how I have enjoyed my mechanics .
Now, surely I have to stop somewhere and clues around me are hinting I should stop now. Before I go, let me leave you with my favourite quotation:
" If I have succeeded in doing in this life, it was because I was working at what I liked" (Timoshenko, As I Remember, p. 15)
(note: Timonshenko is the father of engineering mechanics)
