And what was that British airliner called? the one where the corners of the windows allowed stress cracks to form crashing the airplane? Was that the Metor?
The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .

The de Havilland Comet, yeah. The Gloster Meteor was a jet fighter.

Not necessarily just elongation. Stress is force in a part, strain is the deformation associated with the stress. Can be torsional, bending, shear...Weetabix wrote:It's caviling, I admit. Stress has to do with the force/area while strain deals with elongation.

Why would anyone name an aircraft a Meteor? Don't they know what happens to those?Jericho941 wrote:The de Havilland Comet, yeah. The Gloster Meteor was a jet fighter.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

They didn't call it the Meteorite, so maybe it's OK. Anyway, it's better than Dirt Torpedo.Weetabix wrote:Why would anyone name an aircraft a Meteor? Don't they know what happens to those?Jericho941 wrote:The de Havilland Comet, yeah. The Gloster Meteor was a jet fighter.

Very simple. Don't ride anything faster than an ambling horse and you have [strike]nothing[/strike] very little to worry about.

I was thinking of concrete and steel labs back in school, so basically what you said, but with few enough words to be slightly ambiguous.
