maybe rambling-- as you say-- but some good, solid, engineering points. However, I think you mean the S-N curve is exponential, not "logarithmic"; as stress increases, the number of cycles to failur

I remember that thread, too. I don't know if the sonic stress relief works, but the theory makes some sense. I do know that thermal stress relief works for most parts. Russ, #1226B (Personally, I do

Good question, Gary. I'd like to know the answer, too. The SCTA rules for partial streamlined/ modified bike have become so friggin conservative that some sportbikes with STOCK bodywork can't pass (l

My response to Jon may have suggested that I don't think bodywork and unvented wheels can be a sidewind problem. I DO know that can be a serious problem-- I just think it is not a reasonable explana

In landspeed, the stability we are looking for is in the direction that the airplane guys call "yaw". That is-- if we imagine a VERTICAL axis through the approximate center of the vehicle-- does the

your perspective on the sidewind problem (resultant wind vector, airfoil angle-of-attack) may be very insightful, and very useful-- especially for streamliners. If there is not a flaw in this idea s
