She explained: So I said, “Okay, doc, okay, family, okay, ma, I don’t have a uterus. Okay, God. I know what you want me to do. You want me to create one.” Yes, I said it. “You want me to create an artificial uterus. I can do that. No problem.” So I went to Virginia Tech. I studied material science engineering, long, I guess. I studied material science engineering with a biomed concentration and I was going to make that artificial uterus. Only, I didn’t. Thank goodness I picked up some skills along the way.

The first static analysis is the mean load of 600 lbsapplied one inch from the right-hand side of the beam in Figure 4. The second static analysis isthe alternating load of 500 lbs applied on the right-hand side as well. Both load cases are carriedout for the fatigue module.
