2008-05-05 Thread David Jonsson
Hi This is a traditional basic question in solid mechanics and there is nothing special with it. I am interested in the earth crust and bore holes in it. Gravity is causing vertical stress on the crust but it is not obvious if the horizontal stress is positive or negative. One problem is if the

Howdy David, I don't know the answer. Are we discussing earth science and soil mechanics separate from solid mechanics? Nobody knows earth science except geologists and Al Gore and they know it all. Just ask one of them. Soil mechanics is a less than exact science and the approach you have

The bar has a corner reflector, very old hat. Its interesting property is to reflect incident radiation back to it source, regrdless of the direction of incidence. In yout experience, you eye is effectively a source. Corner reflectors are standard equipment for sea survival, for it will appear

Vortexians: I'd like to get your opinions on the Valone matter. If you got caught cheating in a game of cards in the old west, you could expect to be shot. Tom said that there is a working Searle Machine and other SPFE machines in existence. AFAIK, this is not a truthful statement. He has
