Did You Hear The One About.....?
Do you have a story to tell? Did someone at your bridge club achieve greatness?
Are you planning an exciting event - or would you like to share how well a recent one went?
Great! We'd love to hear about it!
Here's how you do it.
Send an email or word document to Peg Kaplan, MN Bridge blogmaster, at:
That's the easiest.
If someone wishes to snail mail me something:
5592 Bristol Lane, Minnetonka MN 55343
Oh - and do not forget photos! Just upload them with your email.
THANKS!
Minnesota Bridge collapsed. Who is responsible?
Classical Theory of Elasticity is known to be as unsatisfactory basis for the structural design.It is, first-of-all, because this theory has no means for calculating a limiting stress and a limiting deformation for the load bearing structures. The same refers to the standards which lost, finally, their status of the bureaucratic government laws and have no new scientific basis for design.
The new advanced proven reliable theory and method of optimization of the structures has been developed. The US Patent on the method of optimization the structures has been granted to the author in 1997; article on optimization in the journal Experimental Techniques published in 1999; the book "Non-Linear Theory of Elasticity and Optimal Design: How to build safe economical machines and structures " published by Elsevier in 2003. Now the engineers, builders and manufacturers have the reliable methodology for the safe proper design of the structures including the bridges.
