Why is "stamping" of plans illegal?
I don't understand this. If plans are reviewed and approved by a licensed PE, what's the problem if they were not done "in house"? If the PE has the authority to make changes as neccesary, why not?
I ask this because much of the design work in my...
I recently got my first job after graduating with a BSME and was upset with my evaluation I received. This is a very small company and I was the first truly entry level person that they hired. I am upset because I was trying so hard, but no matter what, it seemed like I was making the wrong...
Sorry, no thermo reference handy to try and figure it out myself. It would be nice to know, in case our company does any work up on the mountain (on a new telescope project coming up).
Does it correspond with the centroid of the transformed section? For example, if a wood beam had a steel plate fixed along the bottom, would the neutral axis be lower than that of a pure wood beam of similar cross section?
Any links showing example probs would be nice too. Sorry that this is...
Does anyone have the equation for this. I tried one from my textbook, and the answer I get is less than the average shear stress which is impossible. So I was curious to look at onother version, because perhaps the eq. has a typo? Also, does it occur at the neutral axis like it would in a round...
I am trying to save my file as a bitmap image to show for an interview just in case the dwg file won't open. I am using the bmpout command, but every time I try, the top of the picture is cropped out of the image. Any remedies to this? Thanks
Well by the looks of the problems in the practice book, it definitely looks like studying is in order. The FE exam was pretty challenging. In the morning there is the general stuff that all disciplines must take. I felt I did pretty well in that part. Then comes the afternoon section for which a...
Graduated with a BSME last year and have not had any luck finding work. I was wondering if it is possible to take the exam and have the license activated when I acquire the neccesary experience? I have also heard that in the state of Nevada, work experience is not required; does anyone know if...
Well I have confirmed that my statement was incorrect via this handy website www.srrb.noaa.gov/highlights/sunrise/sunrise.html
I am still confused as to why. It seems that on that day ( approx. may 25) the sun is directley over the latitude for which Hawaii lies and on the summer solstice...
It is not the summer solstice(june 21) but when the angle of declination(angle sun makes with equitorial plane at solar noon) equals the degree of latitude for that particular location. I calculated that today, may 25 is that for honolulu,hi and will again repeat sometime in july. These are the...
Would like to replicate a project we did in school for Turbomachinery class, which was to build a functioning hydropower turbine model. We were given the varous ideal parameters like bucket width, width to length ratio,number buckets and nozzle diameter based on size of wheel. Anyone know of any...
