kanzure_hm, the russian transhumanists have emailed me again, wanting me to review some anti-aging strategy research10:08
kanzure_"According to a public opinion poll conducted in Russia in 2008, 85% of Russians do not ever want to age.10:09

genehackerI wonder why the other other 15% voted the way they did?10:13

wrldpcgreetings!19:43
parodyoflanguageGreetings yourself.19:43
parodyoflanguageI've just installed Zotero and it's pretty awesome.19:44
parodyoflanguageI was just about to start using folders and text files to log my online research information, and then someone linked to this tool on the mailing list.19:45
parodyoflanguageIt's great.19:45
parodyoflanguageRight now I'm using it to research purchasing a new computer.19:46
kanzurefenn: skdb promotional material linkdump?20:05
kanzure(an interested non-Bryan non-professional suggests): The "force" field for a fastener seems like it needs to be at least three different things20:11
kanzureOne is a sort of minimax amount of force required to have a risk of the fastener breaking20:12
kanzurethe minimum amount of force which, applied in the worst possible direction, but without any special torque, would create that risk20:13
kanzureAnother is a computational geometry kind of specification of a region of safe combinations of DC force and torque to apply through the fastener20:14
kanzureA third is a function that you can call with a description of an oriented force and torque and it will say whether the fastener is at risk of failing, or something like that20:14
kanzureI don't know what the best way is to treat variable force and torque20:15
kanzuresimilarly, flexibility is only a simple quantity in the limit of a small amount of force20:15
kanzureand even then it's a tensor-valued quantity20:15
genehackerhmmm... what are you trying to do again20:16
genehackerI took statics I might be able to help20:16
kanzurefor larger amounts of force you would need a function from force to displacement or something20:16
genehacker???20:17
kanzurebasically elaborating on the ontology for fasteners (in skdb.py in the git repository)20:17
kanzureor maybe you could have an object which has a standard interface that lets you call a function to go from DC force to DC displacement or twisting or something20:18
kanzureand then the object can have particular other interfaces if the functional form of the relationship is nice (e.g. linear) or nice within a restrained part of the parameter space (computational geometry to specify that again)20:18
kanzureso that engines which are good at processing relationships of that sort can know that it is safe to treat this force-strain relationship as linear or whatever20:19
kanzureby querying the object to see if it supports that interface20:19
genehackeroh cool20:26
genehackercall me when it starts making 3d models20:26
genehackerI don't really understand ontology for the most part20:27

parodyoflanguageimpulse http://www.euclideanspace.com/physics/dynamics/collision/impulse/index.htm20:55
parodyoflanguageThat might be useful for averaging variable force. Impulse/time.20:56
kanzure-A force of rms 10,000 newtons whose average value is zero newtons can still cause something to break even though the average force is zero.21:04
kanzure-I mean, an oscillating force.21:04
kanzure-The problem is, how do you specify envelopes of safe combinations of static and oscillating forces, so that the design checker can know that the part will only experience combinations of forces that are safe for it?21:05
parodyoflanguageMaybe you'll need to divide the problem space to specific configurations.21:24
parodyoflanguageBut yeah, I see your point.21:34
