Need help “Describing Structural Components to a Layman”. 1

[Ron247]

I have a case I am working on that I already see that I have to describe the possible structural components used to assemble a structure. The description has to be able to be understood by a typical layman (i.e. juror).

I have chosen to approach it as “ All structures consist of 3 possible components, Stick-like, Sheet-like and String-like. I intend to then outline the entire set of possible distortions (strains) you can do to these 3 possible components. The list I present may have items that are not needed or may have missing items. I need input on both. Being blind-sided in court because of poor preparation really sucks. If you would like to help, please see the attached document for the full scope.

The basic yard stick is still the best axial demonstration except I rarely see new yard sticks. Has that gone away with rotary dial phone?

If you're in the market for new wooden yardsticks, I saw them in the sewing department at Walmart recently.
