    FE modeling of fuselage frames

    There are some great notes from Ian Taig on this around. This is a reliable means. Complexity leads to error. Review Cook.

    Changes to the iron ring ceremony

    No, they are overhauling far more than a couple poems.

    Changes to the iron ring ceremony

    Yes, the Wardens said in their release that they hoped that making changes would set the ritual up for another century. Based on that comment, it would seem they really don't understand what is happening. They'd be lucky to get five years.

    Changes to the iron ring ceremony

    I have to admit, Kipling and Stalin are not people that worry me today. They died many years ago. The people alive today that say they must gain ever more control of your life to "...build a better world..." worry me considerably more. If the Ritual of the Iron Ring is a bit silly a bit...

    Changes to the iron ring ceremony

    Stalin believed the Holomodor was justified because he was building a better world. He was simply the bureaucrat willing to make the tough decisions by his reasoning. Just looking at the 20th century alone, there are many similar examples. In Canada today, we attack those who championed...

    Canadian Iron Ring Ceremony Under Review

    A few things: 1. Nobody is forced to participate. The Iron Ring has nothing to do with the regulated practice of engineering in Canada. Many people wear the Iron Ring who have never been registered as an engineer and many people who are registered as an engineer have never done the oath. 2...

    Canadian Iron Ring Ceremony Under Review

    Not really...the complaints stem from the fact it was designed by Christian white men far more than the content. Of course those attacking the ritual are exactly what they accuse Kipling thereof. They feel they are morally superior and see themselves as building a "better world" through their...

    What's Your Favorite Out of Print Reference Book

    Does the 2016 Formulas for Dynamics, Acoustics and Vibration replace it? From the preface of that book - It also says there are over 60 tables in the book.

    Is Diagonal Tension allowed

    It can buckle. But if it can be seen to buckle then sometimes the choice is to keep it below buckling. Not always about the airworthiness requirements.

    A slight design change

    Kerosene would never be approved today...never mind AVGAS. Battery technology has the "just over the horizon" problem. But companies like True Blue Power have the advanced battery tech. Understanding that battery, it's first & foremost a state machine. If and when suitable battery tech is...

    Canadian Iron Ring Ceremony Under Review

    You are allowed guests who are not members. Ultimately, no such ceremony can be fully inclusive in the eyes of some. As I said initially, it is a ring to be worn on a hand. If you have no hands to wear a ring, you can easily interpret the idea of a ring as non-inclusionary if you so choose...

    Canadian Iron Ring Ceremony Under Review

    A bit wild people think a ritual that runs for less than an hour in one's life and maybe mentions the word "God" a couple times constitutes a "cult". Ritual is fundamental to human-ness. And it is normal if not necessary for a ritual to be wrapped in mystery. A steel ring with no meaning is...

    Canadian Iron Ring Ceremony Under Review

    This was the inflection point: Link Commentary: Link Under Review: Link Engineers Canada: Link I don't understand the philosophy. If the current ritual is not inclusive enough, what ritual would be? It is a ring intended to be worn on a hand. For those without hands should they see...
