I'm not a civil engineer, but I've heard lots of people in the construction business talk about how the best architects are those with civil engineering degrees. What about following up with a degree in architecture?

Ah, thanks for your help, Jerry!

I known't we'r there be an edge or not, yet this conversation keenly outlines the concept of infinity.

I've always found that when it comes to paddling dragonboats, the winning technique is to fill the boat with a ragtag company of ornery, bearded lummoxes (lummoxi?) & either promise them sacks filled with gold or else whip the snot out of them. Good luck, shield-brother!

This sounds like a classic little app. Okay, I'm no expert, but I do have a few thoughts: I'd say you'll want to have parameters not only for velocity [v(x),v(y)] but also spin [s(x),s(y),s(z)] Heck, you may even want v(z) in the case of the ball bouncing up or being hit with extremely low...

Thanks, Fred, for your reply. Although I'm not certain, I've not yet found any reason to consider the polymer (polyphenylsulfone) anisotropic. And yes, you're right: I don't know either the shear modulus or Poisson's ratio (or the bulk modulus) for this material. I have discovered the set of...

Hi, folks, I'm an aspiring Mechanical Engineer, & as such am very new to the subject of stress, strain, etc. I'm designing an assembly using a hi-performance polymer that has the following characteristics: Tensile Strength, 73°F 10.1 kpsi (10,100 psi) Tensile Modulus (E) 340 kpsi...

Not for Dummies! Hello, I'm Bumbleflea & this is my 1st post. I've come here as a layman seeking knowledge: Me->:confused: All of you:->:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Please bear with me. First, what I'm interested in most is understanding the basic physics of our solar system...
