 * Who's submitting this?


 * Notes for the 10th are done, please browse over them to see if there are any typos (and to oogle at my hot skillz).  As for the comment at the top of the 8th, is the matlab solution at the bottom sufficient for that?  In the 10th's notes a lot of what was done was solving for the values of $$\underline{k}^{(1)}$$ and $$\underline{k}^{(2)}$$ which is what I believe that comment is referring too.  In my notes I said to refer to the matlab solution for the values for the matrices.  Anyways, sorry for it being last minute!  If you guys need to get a hold of me please call at (239)410-6903.  --EML4500.f08.FEABBQ.Kurth 18:43, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, I went through and cleaned up some things around the lecture notes. There is still one comment on the very top for Sept 8 Andy Koby 14:27, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey guys don't forget to sign your name with the ~ tag on the main HW page before we submit it. Andy Koby 14:14, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll be working on the notes for the 10th today during/between classes...I have a good 6 hours or so to work on them so don't worry, they'll be done. - Billy


 * Ok guys I will not be available until afternoon today, so I will not be able to do anything before that. if something needs to be done on my behalf before noon please go ahead and help me out ,I think there is some more editing to be done on the homework, also we need to check what is wrong with all theses warnings " I though we fixed it"  I will see you all in class    ..          Esmail 09/26   ..  7 am


 * J: I had a couple of issues with the HW for the 19th. One small thing is I am wondering if you accidentally labeled the components for P2 of element 1 incorrectly. Also, I don't think it's correct to say that P1 = f1 + f2, etc. I mean, I know what you're getting at, but if anything you may want to say the magnitude of P = the RSS of those, or sum of forces... Lastly, I kind of feel what you did for the first HW problem is very similar to how I would approach the second HW for that day (the equilibrium of node 2) whereas the first homework is best answered using the two force member concept. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm finding it hard to finish what you started without doing it differently. Let me know how you would like this to get done. Thanks. --Eml4500.f08.FEABBQ.vitt 04:53, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Alright, the notes for the 15th are complete. I know he reviewed how to calculate some of the K values at the end of class that day, but wasn't sure if it was necessary to put there since it was just review. Also, I am aware that he began speaking about the elimination of known DOFs, but J's notes for the 17th begin with that and cover it thoroughly. Let me know if you think anything should be added. --Eml4500.f08.FEABBQ.vitt 04:40, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey guys I have done all the diagrams the last two were posted on J's part, pleas everyone go and check his work adn remove any extra comments. Esmail Hadman 04:25, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * For future reference I am totally gonna start making these things up in class. What a pain in the ass. - Grant

Directional Cosines Diagram
 * I have fixed the mistake on the assembly drawing "thanks" and uploaded some more for the other parts . Esmail Hadman 03:00, 26 September 2008 (UTC)



2 force member concept


 * Alright thats what I got for the 8th for now. I'm gonna wrap them up tomorrow. - Grant


 * I uploaded the Matlab stuff that I think we were supposed to include in this HW. I also fixed on minor thing on the september 8 notes. JJ 02:42, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Esmail, just one little thing I noticed in you assembly matrix diagram. The sub matrices in the d and F matrices are 2x1 rather than 2x2, just a minor fix.  Otherwise looks really good!  I'm doing the notes for the 10th now too.


 * I've got the 8th now. - Grant


 * Nik I have posted the assembly matrix diagram on my page use it where ever it needs to be...Esmail Hadman 01:42, 26 September 2008 (UTC)




 * Esmail, I have reduced the number of images required for Sept. 19 down to two and they are listed there. Let me know if you don't understand them, but you should have them in your notes. My sections are pretty much done, all I have to do is finish the equilibrium of node 2 which I'll do tomorrow. I have to study for Stats, I won't be able to do FEA anymore til then. JJ 19:50, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Andy, Sept. 22 is due on HW 3... JJ 19:47, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Maybe put which dates are done/need to be done on this AWESOME table? Andy Koby 19:45, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll start doing some day when I get a chance, I have to leave the computer lab again but when I get back I'll pick a section... Also what's going on with all of our warnings? I tried changing the deletion tag, maybe I should change it back? Andy Koby 18:56, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Esmail is doing September 8 and 10, I'm doing September 17 and 19. JJ 18:19, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Sooooo, do we have any plan on how to finish this. Anyone want to claim stuff or assign stuff. I do some of the homework parts or make graphs, I just got to know what to do. -Grant


 * Meeting tomorrow at 10am in Marston 3rd Floor. Grant


 * What time are you guys meeting tomorrow? Esmail Hadman 00:20, 23 September 2008 (UTC)


 * The homework is all in your notes. JJ 03:11, 22 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Does anyone know exactly what homework things we need to do. If so could please list them.  Then we should start to split them up. Oh and personally I don't care if we do this stuff before the test. I'm ok with trying to finish it up whenever this week.


 * We don't have to split up the hw and notes anymore. It should all be one document, as per Vu-Quoc's instructions. JJ EML4500.f08.FEABBQ 03:21, 21 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I have posted the Element-1 diagram on the notes J [[Image:Drawing_09-17.jpg|center|thumb|100px]] Esmail Hadman 14:36, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
