This is where Gerald Weinberg s writings come in, and Understanding the Professional Programmer is a great place to start. One final comment, just so nobody feels misled: this book was first published in 1982&emdash;twenty years ago at the time I am writing this review; and many of the...
Microgravity experiments cover a large variety of physical processes, including dust collisions, particle transport, wind erosion and the evolution of planetary surfaces. Laboratory and microgravity experiments have shown that aggregation of solids has certain barriers, with growth being limited or even pre...
Worse fears begin when you start losing a big sum of money savings in the stock market, and your investment is in really bad shape. It’s human nature to feel that way, especially if you have invested everything you have. The anxiety and depression eventually creep in when the financial ...
It is a key property in viscoelasticity, reflecting the material’s ability to “creep”. ϵ(t): The strain ϵ(t) changes over time, indicating that the material is progressively deforming. σ0: The constant stress σ0 that is applied to the material. For linear viscoelastic materials, ...
Composite viscoelasticity can also influence fatigue behavior [1], and the temperature dependence of various mechanical properties, including creep resistance [2]. Stress relaxation experiments, in which a specimen is strained to a fixed level and the slow decay of stress is monitored, present a ...
