  1. Tim, I'm glad you got it. I got my remaining pictures back last week but have been too busy to get them copied to CD or to Tank-Net. I plan to remedy my oversight in short order, however. I think I have an extra picture of Pam driving. Joanne - temporarily out of phase
  2. I don't have a sister, but I am someone's sister. I don't see why women shouldn't have to opportunity to serve where they want assuming they complete training and any necessary qualification successfully - and turn up with more EB green than their male counterparts. Joanne - who can live with a crew of guys for three months but won't share her garage with a boyfriend
  3. Twist of the Wrist II. Keith Code. And polishing the motorcycle. Joanne - a very damp, rather disgruntled Ms. Glottis
  4. BTT #3 Mission Accomplished!! I just thought I'd bring the introductory threads back up to the surface for some of the newer members. Joanne
  5. Steven, I can't believe you're aren't interested in ordering a model. Joanne - who has to admit she's never seen anyone quite that caffeinated
  6. It has been awhile since I looked at my materials books, but I'd like to add a couple of points here. 1. Hardness Hardness testing requires getting a statistical sample of the specimen. This means that standards exist for how many indentations are made in a sample and how the readings are weighted. Also, hardness readings can be affected by surface treatments and characteristics, which is why those who do extensive structural analysis try to utilize other means of characterizing the material. 2. Toughness As described on http://www.mse.cornell.edu/courses/mse265/...properties.html Basically, toughness is the parameter used to determine failure through crack propagation. I recall thinking of it as the ability of the material to distribute a stress around a stress concentration. Joanne - who loves this stuff and probably should have decided to study it even more instead of acoustics, grr, grr, grr.
  7. I miss Beyond Dark Castle. Actually, my brother and I used to play Panzer Commander against each other until his ISP went under. It was great on dial-up with no hitches and fairly smooth graphics - except for that bit where you couldn't drive through the forest or the buildings or the rivers. Apparently it was pretty easy to design new scenarios, so that was interesting. Somebody was maintaining a site with patches and updates. I miss playing that. Not that I'm any good at it. I clamored for a fast tank so I could set my gunner on automatic and career around the field. The M18/BT-8 was always an amusing match-up. Joanne - "Speed is the food of the great Glottis"
  8. Name: Joanne Age: 29 Country: US Service: None Interest: Military Vehicle Design, Strategy, Military Evolution Tanknet: Lurked around here at the behest of a good friend who kept sending me links to this site. I don't know how long I have been browsing, but decided I should register since I visit the site regularly. Comments: None at the moment [Edited by Ms Glottis (22 Jan 2004).]
