Thermal expansion examples

[Grizzly Bear]

Though he is intectually dishonest, I think this error of his is based on a concept known as "not knowing wtf he's talking about".

Which is why he's become the 1st member to ever make it to my ignore list.

...NIST is just covering up the real cause, whatever it can be...

Fine, NIST are in on it. The scum.

What about the entire rest of the planet Heiwa? How many engineering journals are there? How many have no institutional leaning to defend GW Bush whatsoever?

Are you attempting to publish in them? Or are you just, dare I ask, pontificating?

Well, the NIST WTC7 draft report was only published recently and we have a few weeks to respond, so let's await the response of the entire rest of the planet. But let's face it. WTC7 was a very robust building and low stressed and NIST does not explain how very solid columns seen in the rubble failed, e.g. were cut straight off, etc. That NIST faked the 16 floor FEA model with false internal boundary conditions is a possibility because then thermal expansion may cause some local failures in that model.
Anyway, the description of the FEA results is quite fuzzy. I would prefer a list of failures in order of occurrence, parts with ID numbers and nodes involved, description of failure, etc. At every failure you have to re-do the analysis as the model changes

I agree

That is why I don't trust chemistry, It's way too fuzzy and useless until you have a full and accurate viewpoint of every electron at each reaction step, otherwise it's just mindless guesswork and your model fails

I'm going to bump this briefly since a member brought up the topic. It may be of interest to him to read about examples especially those which relate to construction. Anyway that's my hope..
