.: Geeky stuff indeed

Now “it” has a name, and “it” here refers to the research that I am working on.

“Application of toroidal visc0-hyperelastic devices for structural seismic response control”

Structural/earthquake engineers may be able to comprehend it, but the *other* people can just gawk and say, “Pretty cool stuff he’s working on !”. I will however, try to define a few of the above terms.

Toroidal : A surface generated by a closed curve rotating about, but not intersecting or containing, an axis in its own plane. In simple non-math terms, something that looks like a donut.
Viscoelasticity : A time depend material behavior where the stress response of that material depends on both the strain applied and the strain rate at which it was applied.
Hyperelasticity : A behavior, which could be due to geometry or material property, that results in the material having a nonlinear elastic stress-strain relationship.

it looks more like a research topic on birth control,just read the definitions of toroidal,viscoELASTICITY AND hyperELASTICITY with a perverted state of mind and reread the title…and you will know what I mean.
Eg:
Toroidal- something that looks like a donut
viscoelasticity-the stress response of that material depends on both the strain applied and the strain rate at which it was applied (..that really means something if u think in my direction)
Hyperelasticity-nonlinear elastic stress-strain relationship (hmm…)

Dude…. has B’lore sure has made you more pervert. But I am amazed at how deviant your thoughts are from my actual message. And for heaven’s sake, please don’t stick *you know what I mean* in a donut !!

isnt deviating from the ordinary the concept behind ur site..well I was just trying to help you out…I quoted the donut to make it sound less pervert..I was actually going to begin with “a closed curve rotating about”
