Hi, All:
I know very little physics and/or materials engineering.
I am just trying to see if there is something to the claim that alternating the usage of ,
say, backpacks/ shoes , will give an overall longer total life, i.e., if I will be able to get more
useful days out of 2 shoes by buying 2 pairs; p1,p2 and using p1, say, every other day,
than if I use p1 daily until it breaks down, then using p2 until breakdown.
I have some weak arguments to support this; first, I've been told the military uses
this method. Secondly, I've been told that when , say, a shoe is used daily, then the fiber
will wear out and pushed to its breaking point. But, if one of the pairs is not used for a day,
then the fibers will return to their original length when "resting", therefore delaying
these fibers' breaking point.
Am I way Off? ( I'll wait for your answer to decide if I should shower daily or not :) )
Thanks in Advance.
