Poisson Effect Versus Neutral Plane - A Theory
tom sawyer:
Mims, you never know which site is going to provide the most interesting discussion. PP tends to have engineers weighing in and they are the ones who would contribute a lot to this discussion, but none really have over there. And Baker has been oddly silent as well. He's probably rueing the fact that he posted his results, I suspect he might write about this one day. I do think my discussins of the Possion Effect got him thinking and caused him to do the experiment in the first place. thats the great thing about Tim, he goes and measures stuff. I need to do more of that. The LW discussion is really good, and I posted a bit of this on a related thread on radiused vs flat bellies and got a stellar reponse from a guy named Ken. I asked if I could post his reply other places.
This place has had the best overall discussion though. Very enjoyable. And I am the first to say that my ideas are not necessariy correct, which is why I try them out on people.
I shouldn't have said "recently" argued, I was referring to Baker and Torges' exchanges several years ago. But it comes up from time to time and people always have their favorite. You know they both work pretty well though.

Is that exchange available to read?

tom sawyer:
Not that I know of, and to be honest I heard about it second-hand as I wasn't into traditional archery back when it ocurred.
duffontap:
I know there were some pointed comments in the TBM column that became Hunting the Osage Bow. I would love to see an actual exchange though.

Lennie,
Each site has it's on character(s). ;-) Not critisizing, just noticing. But I deplore naming things, "Baker effect", "Perry reflex", etc. As you've pointed out, there's little or nothing new in this game. Just a pet-peeve.
David, I used to feel the same way but have grown to like it now, if an individual simply makes something popular, explains it, or invents it, I don't mind seeing their name on it,
What does bug me is that if the ideas were all ready popularized or somehow credit was robbed from a known individual who deserved some recognition. I have yet to see anything new in bowyering since I have been involved, at best I have seen a better understanding of existing principles start to fall into place. The main reason I like the use of names is for easy identification and uniform understanding of a procedure. I also think it encourages and recognizes bowyers who have gone one step beyond in their homework. I know of only a handful of procedures that would fall into this category. Steve
