#bellow — Public Fediverse posts

We published our open-access paper about damage mechanisms of air spring bellows and how to obtain a representative specimen design for cord-rubber composite materials.

The scripts for the simulation, including a Jupyter notebook which may be executed in Google Colab, is available on GitHub.

these words, from Saul Bellow’s letters, 1974, also feel like they could have been written by his fellow Canadian born Jew, Philip Guston.

“So I know how to transform common matter… I long for others to do it. I thirst for it.”

or as Bruce said:

“I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk”

Instead of #tweets or #toots, I’m calling this a #rumble. Because well, I imagine that’s the sound a mastodon would make. Trumpet is another (like an elephant), but you know who would want to take credit for that.

Also:
#bleat
#oink
#bellow
#yap

I’m also a big fan of bodily noises.
#fart
“Wait a minute, I have to post this fart on mastodon”.
I know, we’re very serious here.
