Interesting Papers on heavy duty design, vibrations, composites and column design

Nice paper and easy to understand :)

I notice that although the epoxy granite has less mass for the same stiffness and better damping over steel and iron, it is also physically larger. In most DIY designs I imagine an acceptable size for the beams is chosen first. I'd be interested to see constant beam size vs. stiffness, mass and damping.
