[edit] Soil article

Hello, I saw your suggestion on the soil article, and I just wanted to make sure you are watching the article soil as we are having a discussion there on this subject. – Basar (talk · contribs) 05:02, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Basar,

That was a fast response from you. You have to tell me how you monitor the pages that quickly. In response to your concern, I did see the soil article. I don't know if you think the changes I made are appropriate or if the suggestion of a new article Soil(engineering) is also appropriate.

By the way, thanks for the welcoming note on my Talk page. (I am not sure if this is the proper way to reply to messages in the Talk page (got it)) Sanpaz 05:07, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Your welcome, and both of the ways you have responded are fine, although I can see you saw my note at the top of my page requesting this particular way to keep the conversations together, I'm flexible with both. To be alerted of changes made to pages you are interested in, you can use the watchlist feature. One of the buttons on the top of articles says "watch" and when you press it, it goes into your watchlist. To view your watchlist, you use the "my watchlist" button on the top right of the screen. – Basar (talk · contribs) 05:21, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
I did know about the watchlist feature, but I was just surprised with your fast response, I thought you knew of an extra feature to see new edits without having to check the mywatchlist manually. I will talk to you later about the whole soil article, and what I think we could do. For know, I've got to sleep. Sanpaz 05:29, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Soil article (more)

I've been working on a sandbox re-write of the Soil article most of today. It's not intended to cut-and-paste replace the article, just to try out some of my article improvement ideas. Besides what I have done (mostly removing soil science weighted content), the article also needs to have substantial content developed by other-than-soil-scientist folks. If you get a chance, take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks! -- Paleorthid (talk) 01:53, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good job!

The Technology Barnstar
I'd like to award you this Technology Barnstar for the excellent contributions you've been making this year. Your efforts haven't gone unnoticed... keep up the good work! --Explodicle (talk) 16:22, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] February 2008

Hi, the recent edit you made to Stress (physics) has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 23:31, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about that. Was an error. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ echo 23:32, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Good Book

Hey, I have a good PDF book on elasticity - "Elasticity Theory, applications, and numerics" by M. Sadd. I could send it to you but you don't have an email address! PAR (talk) 14:24, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi PAR, I just enabled the email. Thanks for the book. I always like to have good books. I also have another book I can send you. I will chat to you later about the first section of the Stress (physics) page. I have some questions and suggestions. Sanpaz (talk) 15:44, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Saint-Venant's compatibility condition

Can we close the debate on merger of Saint-Venant's compatibility condition. The point is that it is only the rank 2 case that is applied to Elasticity, but the theorem holds for all ranks of symmetric tensor fields.Billlion (talk) 10:21, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Sure, we can close the debate. I am only familiar with theory of elasticity. So, I cannot comment on the more general cases. I would certainly like to know more about the topic, so let me know what is a good source to read about it.Sanpaz (talk) 16:11, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for your improvement of Stress (physics)

You've done an excellent job. I am nominating this article as an FA candidate. --Sandycx (Talk) 11:13, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] von Mises yield criterion

Hello. After another author has changed the lead drastically, I have worked on it again and worked in my sandbox. I had reverted his edit since I found it poor (the reason are on his talk page) in too many aspects, however it brought in some nice ideas and I tried to rephrase them more properly. I do not want to disguise that it was his original idea, so I offered him to move the construction to his sandbox. I would like to know your opinion on what we were doing with the lead. Of course, I would also like to hear your comments on the talk page to my last to edit, but I have also full understanding, if for the time being you are occupied with other stuff. Looking forward to reading your comments. Tomeasy (talk) 09:55, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] moved a comment

H. I moved one of your comments on the von Mises criterion talk page to the correct section, because I have no doubt you agree that it is better placed there. If that is not the case, let me offer my apologies and do not hesitate to undo this action. After all it's your comment and I have no right in editing it. Tomeasy (talk) 17:53, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Equivalent stress

Hi, I saw that you had removed the section on equivalent stress from Stress (physics). I was linking to the idea on the Drucker-Prager yield criterion page. Now that link leads to the Stress (physics) page from where it's difficult for the reader to track down what the equivalent stress mean without doing a word search on the page. Do you have a solution to the problem? Bbanerje (talk) 04:42, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I think the equivalent stress concept does not actually belong to the stress article. It does not explain or help explain the concept of stress. Equivalent stress is more of a concept to help calculate yielding of a material. It is good to mention it, but not as a section. So, my solution would be to change the link to von Mises. Let me know what you think. Sanpaz (talk) 23:34, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merging yield surface, yield, plasticity =

It's not obvious to me how the articles should be merged. The resulting article might become too long/diffuse and take ages to load. I'll try to continue to add more information on yield surfaces as I get the time but I'll leave the organization of the material to you (and others). Cheers. Bbanerje (talk) 23:42, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
