@Archeosudoerus Allow me to repeat the original question to end this argument - "can native speakers still hear the aspiration in 他 vs 大, particularly if relying only on sound or what is heard?"
r13
Sep 20, 2023 21:43
@Archeosudoerus As a Chinese speaker, can you distinguish 大 and 他 from hearing? I gave up if you have such difficulty, otherwise, why?
r13
Sep 20, 2023 21:43
@Archeosudoerus It is the Chinese way to distinguish the sounds of "ㄉ" & "ㄊ", as well as "ㄅ" & "ㄆ" - cover your mouth with one hand when pronouncing "ㄉ" and "ㄅ", your hand shall not sense the airflow as much as pronouncing "ㄊ" & "ㄆ". I am a Chinese speaker, so I am not qualified to comment on English pronunciations.

@Archeosudoerus Are you familiar with 注音? I think it is the better way to learn Chinese pronunciation, which contains sounds that can't be fully captured by English pronunciation. Please review the video files to hear the sound differences between "ㄉ" and "ㄊ". So far, it seems we can't convince each other. (Note that 道 and 島 both start with the sound "ㄉ" in Chinese, but become "Tao" and "Dao" with the "T" and "D" both with the sound "d" in English.)

@Archeosudoerus "道[dào]", Eng translation "Tao"; 青"島[dǎo]", Eng translation Qing-"Dao". Hope you can see the confusion and inconsistency of English translations that are not present in the Chinese pronunciation.
r13
Sep 20, 2023 21:43
@Archeosudoerus I don't understand why the English speaker can't distinguish the sound differences between ㄉ(d) and ㄊ(t). A common confusion - the word "道 [dào/ ㄉㄠˋ] is often translated as "Tao" (with the pronunciation marked as [taw] or [daw]} instead of the more exact "Dao" ( pronounced [daw]).

@dROOOze I provided two references which explain 偏旁. The first was a direct link to the web dictionary, Dict.cn; and the second was from Baidu.com, which says (if you bother/know to read): 中文名:偏旁; 外文名:Radical. But I agree that 部首 is also translated as "radical", because in Chinese, 部首和偏旁 often used together.

"...while the third stroke of 有 is 竖(丨, shu)". I doubt the correctness of this statement, as Chinese words are composed of radicals, while 月 is a radical, there is no such radical with 一竖(丨, shu) on the left. See a list of Chinese radicals here - hsk.academy/en/learn/the-chinese-radicals

This is not a good/valid explanation. 环海 means looping around the seashore, which can be carried out in a relaxed manner - 环海漫遊, which is not much different than 漫步海边. Since we don't know what the author was trying to promote/sell, everybody would have guessed what does 漫遊 mean before being able to picture a scene in the head.

May 16, 2022 00:04
@lilysirius 以為的漫步海边 - 无忧无虑 自由自在, 慢悠悠的散步 is the leading phrase, which is finished by 实际的環海(??), where is the contrast? The sentence is in the form of 以為{是)....实际上(不然).
r13
May 16, 2022 00:04
自認的漫步海边,实际是環海(??), by foot or by boat? A sentence started with 自認 (perceived) should be finished with something contrary, which is missing here. It makes sense If (??) = 跋涉 (contrast to 漫步), but we don't know from the sentence or the pictures.

Because these two sentences do not make sense, either read individually or together. You need help with the background material, but I guess this is a commercial advertisement.

Yes. When the car started up, it produces an instantaneous force due to F = ma, when it reaches a speed and keeps the speed constant it is still in motion, there is no doubt that the motion can push and pull and crash something that stands in the way. The force at constant speed is difficult to identify or quantify, but it's there That forms my opinion - when a rigid body is in motion, regardless of the acceleration, there is force present, and the easiest way to feel and measure the force is to "force" the car to stop, and measure the reaction. As an opinion, I could be wrong though.
r13
Apr 18, 2022 15:21
Conservation of energy, KE = mv^2/2 will not disappear if no friction, it turns into work energy = F*d. The dissipation of energy requires friction to drag down/reduce the speed (deacceleration), or turn the energy into another form - impact/collision to stop the motion at once, at then, v --> 0, and the resulting a is at a peak.
r13
Apr 18, 2022 15:21
If force is zero, what keeps the motion? Image a boat floating on a stream with constant but very fast flow velocity, the position of the boat will change at the same speed, then suddenly it hits a barrier/pier, It would wrack, why?

Apr 18, 2022 15:21
Force will not disappear naturally but change form to mechanical energy.

You can also find the maximum deflection by using the "consistent displacement" method". I think you know the method, but it is a little tricky for plates with a linearly varying distributed load.
r13
Mar 21, 2022 20:57
The concept of this method is rather simple, the brief description is - a point on a plate/slab is constant. If we take a unit strip in each of two directions (usually orthogonal) and let them intercept at the point, at which the deflection is to be determined.

Mar 21, 2022 20:57
You are making things overly complicated and very difficult to understand your question, especially without access to the references you quoted. Again, I suggest simplifying/narrowing down the question, and deleting all comments which have now become a distraction rather than helping. Otherwise, I suggest using FEM to derive or verify the alpha values you have doubt in mind.
r13
Mar 21, 2022 20:57
For the confusion over the multiple curves, please read the paper again, which says "the subscripts of alpha and alpha' identify the cases of loading and edge conditions represented in Fig. 2". If you still have questions, I suggest narrowing the question to a focus point, which is not clear at this moment.
r13
Mar 21, 2022 20:57
In Roark's table, each a/b ratio corresponds to a single alpha value, so graphically a single curve is expected. Can you explain the various curves in the graphs you posted? Or link to the sources where the curves were copied from?
r13
Mar 21, 2022 20:57
I am confused about what you were trying to accomplish/solve but couldn't get precise results as in Roark's case 11.4.1d? Concerning the precision in the tables, what is the level of precision you are looking for?

But it's not far off. The statement from your first reference: "The batteries are the car's heaviest component. E.g., the 85 kWh battery pack weighed 1,200 lb (540 kg)." So the question here is the kg is mass or force/weight.

One method could be the cheapest to solve your problem, but again, you need someone who has the knowledge to design it. Remember old-style water filtration system - dirty water running through layers of filters consisted of gravels and sands to catch the larger particles and eliminate smells, then the clean water comes out at the end/bottom, which can be released to the ground, or a pond, to evaporate naturally, or pumped away. You need to confirm that the local permits this approach though.

Oct 14, 2021 19:47
No matter the color code, it seems to me you need a drain pipe leading to a drain field or linking to the public sewage line. That's why you need an engineer to determine the final destination, the route, and what kind of permits are required. I am puzzled why the drainage issue wasn't brought up before the building construction, or reviewed during the permit process. Don't you need the permit to build, and a permit for use? You must be located in a free country then.
r13
Oct 14, 2021 19:47
You can't drain effectively in clayey soil, actually, it might dissipate the water it contains into the septic field. As pointed out on the other thread mentioned above, you need a civil engineer to look into this matter. Trails and errors do not work for this case. Good luck.
