Thanks for all your replies.
The intention is not to optimise the code. The code is now fixed. The object of this exercise is run the software with different inputs, interpret the results and record how long each simulation took to run. However, the simulation length is dependent of the...
Hi everyone,
I'm not a computer scientist by any stretch, so I really apologise if this is a stupid question.
This is my situation:
I'm trying to help out one of my colleagues who has written a highly numerically intensive program which consumes RAM. He now has a large number of...
I wouldn't worry so much about writing completely new software. Good new software arises from a real personal need, rather than an invented one. Pick some useful software that already exists, but which is expensive, and then write your own version, and then be really kind and distribute it for...
Sorry for the delayed reply. I've been away for a few days.
That works perfectly... thanks so much! It's completely editable and correctly aligned. How did you do that?
EDIT: Sometimes I need to add a fourth subscript and/or add the ring to different subscripts. That's why I'm asking for more...
The word version will not be the final version to print --- this is just the manuscript which will be submitted as a MS Word doc. I guess I could just put up with the ugly notation, like you suggest. At least it's clear (unlike the 'dotted' subscript). That's preferable to dumping them in as...
For various reasons, I have to rewrite part of my thesis in MS Word and Mathtype, after I wrote it in LaTeX. I used some notation in LaTeX from the amsmath package, which I'm finding very hard to reproduce satisfactorily in Mathtype.
Take a look at the attached image. On the left there is...
I like this... You've convinced me with it. The concept of wave-momentum was a bit alien to me - I've only ever looked at forces at various support types due to waves, and for this you don't need to consider momentum.
I hadn't realized this was the case, but now you say it, I can see that it...
I was wrong. Here's an explanation and derivation for wave momentum:

I don't think it...
From that thread, I'd argue that it's not exactly the wave making the surfer go. The surfer is 'continuously falling' down a crest. That's gravity making the surfer move! It's just the geometry and movement of the wave that allows that to happen. Different parts of the wave making the surfer...
Vibration isn't really my area, so treat my comments with caution.
Surely it's meaningless to talk about the momentum of a mechanical wave? You can talk about momentum for a photon because it is not actually a wave, but does display wave like properties (I'm sure something I just said there...
Hello,
I was wondering if someone could clarify the major differences and limitations of Damage Mechanics and Fracture Mechanics.
I'm more familiar with the fracture mechanics approach, but have never done any damage mechanics before. I'm just trying to sort out in my head how fracture...
Hey I actually haven't tried this experiment so I don't know for sure what really happens... maybe I'm getting this wrong? I was under the impression that if you stir a glass of water with sediments in it, they become suspended in the middle of the glass. Any sediments near the edge move into a...
SIDE NOTES:
Okay Dave, chill out... surely it doesn't matter if everyone's line of thought coincides with yours or not, right or wrong regardless?
When I posted I was taking Stoke's law (I didn't know it was called that though) for granted - I think it's pretty intuitive that larger...
