Maybe the idea is not new but how about a book based on the forum posts? A compilation of posts plus additional clarifications, sketches, notes and so on..

Regards,

Danb..

That's too good an idea!!

I'm with you!!!

But for that the utility & the correctness of the posts need to be validated which would be a tough ask!!

But we should find some way out...No doubts in this!!

May be Richard/Dave Diehl can help us in compilation.


Keep Smiling..

It always helps.

I do not know.

Some were validated in the forum.

Maybe a small color code (a dot or square on the side)
- green for generally accepted
- yellow for accepted by some but rejected by others
- red for generally rejected

But important is that generally the posts reflect our job reality.

Regards,

Great Idea!

I've been thinking of this for a very long time. Unfortunately I don't know of anyone here at ICAS who has the time to do this.

I guess that if a large majority want this book to be done, it will be done somehow.

Though this task is a rigourous one but this book will be of great value for all stress engineers around the world.

Richard Ay,

Please find some way out to compile the posts into a useful book!!!

Thanks in anticipation,

SJ

A poll maybe on this subject?

Dan...

A poll would be good to know the Vox Populi of the forum!!!

But the tedious task of validating the posts is the main concern...some posts may be misleading or may contain incorrect info...this needs to be validated by a person with proven credentials.

But how is the question??

Further, there are several duplicate posts on same subject which needs to be eliminated!!

One thing is for sure: We definitely need help of Moderators of this forum Richard/Dave/Loren for this task!!!!


Keep Smiling,

It always help!!!

Dan,

It is really good idea and usefull for all stress engineers around the globe.

it may be like

All forum topics will be categorised like

1.Topic Name
1.1 sub topic
1.1.1 Practical examples posted by users
1.1.1.1 Opinions of members on the topic

Regards

I must appreciate the noble thinking for noble cause.
Your experiences,efforts and advices are making us qualified stress engineers.And making a book out of these is a great idea indeed.

noble thinking sir.

I support this idea and suggest that all of us could help. If each willing member extracts/identifies posts related to a single topic (as we would do when we do our searches, but a bit more thoroughly) and sorts them +/- per validation level, it would give a good starting point to the moderators to check and finalise.

Instead of a book I imagine it rather as a "Forum Index" linked to individual or groups of posts.

By providing links to the various topics sorted in logical order (similar to the Caesar's Technical Manual, or Course Notes) it would eventually save the moderators' time as it would provide a better search function.

Hello Dan...

Any updates on this front?

Has something positive out there?

I am a simple forum member, just like everybody.

I know Dan...

Lets make a poll for this!!
