I would think that liability would lie with them and they wouldn't produce anything less than what their #'s concluded was safe. I apologize about the aircraft talk!
LILJA does not and has not asked me to crunch these numbers.
I'm doing this for my sanity, and so I can present a safe contour to Lilja with our request. I'm sure Dan will do his own math or already has to determine a minimum barrel thickness.
And I don't do this because I don't trust Dan. I do it because I can, I do it because I NEED to. Variable presented me with a problem, "how thin can we go with a Grendel barrel?" A problem has been presented, I won't have piece of mind until I solve it.
It's the curse of the engineer.
