    Eariler this month I  attended the E-Days firewoks at the Colorado School of Mines. These are always very spectacular. So much so in fact, that it has lead to the rumor that we dynamite the football field. It is always a blast- pun intended. ...more

On Systemic Failure

Posted on 5/15/2008 8:16:29 PM

A single failure, independent of its magnitude, rarely results in catastrophe. System collapse is generally the result of the coupling of failure, and a cascadingseries of failures that are its result. 

To some extent even the introduction of a system's resonance frequency is the result of this. The energy inputs are coupled and made independent of time which causes systemic collapse.

Theoretical Framework for the Estimation of the Coefficient of Drag for a Car

Posted on 5/2/2008 1:07:42 AM

If we are to assume the rolling resistance as well as intertial effects due to component rotation to be negligible, then the rate at which the velocity of the car declines when on a level surface is a function of the drag of the car body. As a result, we may calculate an estimate of drag as well as a constant coefficient of drag if we know the vertical plane projected area of the car and its mass.
