    Equation of a Plate: Wave Equation for Road Impact

    Hi- how is the load direction (is the impact aligned on the rod axis)?

    Measuring Vibration on Screws in Vehicle Flanges

    Hi--from the acceleration signal you should be able to reconstrunct the loal diplacement as function of time. Then, you could do some FEM calculations on the structure, maybe checking for fatigue failure. M

    Explain the pressure terms in Bernoullis Equation

    think that the energy conservation you write about, which in your idea gives no real explanation about the cause of the motion, \frac{1}{2}\dot{x}^{2}+mgx=const, is instead exactly equivalent to the equilibrium relation m\ddot{x}=-mg as can be proved by deriving the en. eq. in the time once...

    Explain the pressure terms in Bernoullis Equation

    Hi- a)I don't understand the question. What's the difference between highly compressible and almost uncompressible fluid about pressure definition? none, as in every other substance b)if you think that pressure decrease at section where velocity increase (at same heigth) as the only way to...

    Exploring Gravity-Independent Pendulum Clock Possibilities

    Hi- but the point is: do you want to have an idea on how to overcome to acc. gravity or thermal change on the value square_root(g/L) or what?

    Serial manipulator with rotational springs

    great. In the latter case you are supposing to know the equilibrium state, and you say that the force can be applied anywhere (but always perpendicular? I'll suppose so) along the mechanism. That's an interesting point. I would do some few considerations first. We'll consider a...

    What are some recommended mechanical engineering books?

    ehm.. something more into specific?? M

    Serial manipulator with rotational springs

    Hi- take a look to the file mathematica... It was a nice excercise..

    Serial manipulator with rotational springs

    I clearly agreee in the case of large deflection.

    Revolutionize Energy Storage: Utilizing Flywheels for Efficient Power Generation

    Hi- 1. The time it takes for increase the kinetic energy of the flywheel mainly (but not finally) depends on the characteristics of the energy supplier (your GSX50) and utilizer (in a direct coupling). Write down the energy balance and you will get the dynamics (and then the time). But direct...

    Serial manipulator with rotational springs

    Hi- It is not clear to me what you mean for long/short arm. Anyway, it seems to me that the reaction of the torsional spring k1 can be simply obtained requiring the static (is it a static structure?) equilibrium at rotation centered in the k1 point for the complete structure. In that case, as...

    Calculating Bending Result of Volumetric Strain in a Beam

    Hi- for volumetric strain distribution I suppose that you mean the trace of the deformation tensor. But in principle it is not enough to reconstruct the displacement field, and then the bending. What about beam constraints? Is this volume expansion/contraction due to temperature variations? M

    What is the Relationship Between Leak Rates and Different Gases?

    Hi if you know that leak occurs at tank sealing, it should be sufficient to compare the viscosity of the hydrogen and of the gas you are supposed to utilize. The leak (dot_q) decrease proportionally to the viscosity (eta) as dot_q propto 1/eta. M

    Fluid Surface Interaction (FSI)

    Hi 2)FSI at (e.g.) hip joint is called thin film lubrication. It it substantially different from classical (e.g., as you write, biomedical heart valves) FSI since the size of structures deflection is comparable with the same size of the film thickness. The topic is quite well studied by not...

    Understanding the Relationship of Sphere Coordinates and Rotations

    Hi It is not really clear to me the question. You mean the spin motion (rotation of the ball with rotation vector parallel to the segment connecting the two centers)?
