Nathanael: i've passed my yield strength, i think
Nathanael: the damage is gonna be permanent now
Nathanael: >.<
Tuuli Mustasydän: ya
Tuuli Mustasydän: oh yeah
Nathanael: sigh
Tuuli Mustasydän: but it's not gonna harden us :(
Tuuli Mustasydän: so the analogy falls apart :P
Nathanael: well, you've probably guessed what i've been studying
Nathanael: haha
Nathanael: gotta reduce our grain size

Later...
Nathanael: i'm passed the ultimate tensile strength
Nathanael: i'm approaching failure

I change my subnick to:
Suffering from tertiary creep

Nathanael: hehe
Nathanael: had to look through my notes for that one
Nathanael: lol
Tuuli Mustasydän: well, i've been slowly stretched all term...
Nathanael: thats fatigue, isn't it?
Nathanael: i say u need some annealing
Nathanael: u need to grow some equiaxed grains
Nathanael: hahaha
Nathanael: its pretty sad how we're finding this amusing
Tuuli Mustasydän: no, creep is different from fatigue
Tuuli Mustasydän: fatigue is when it undergoes varied stress
Tuuli Mustasydän: creep is deformation under a constant stress over time

I'm suffering from fatigue due to dynamic shock loads :P
