I apologize for the confusion. Where I said "Circle" I should have said "Arc". All dimensions shown above are just what are available and not necessarily needed to determine the center point of the arc however, I think that in the case of the line with length 3, it would be useful as the...

I am working on an algorithm which requires the coordinates for the center point of an offset circle. Dimensions available to find this are shown in the image below and the dimension required is labeled as X: The point at the very left of the arc is a quadrant therefore, the circle center also...

That was exactly what I was looking for, Thank you. Just out of interest, can this be reversed? I mean rather than having a circle form on the inside is it possible to form the circle on the outside so that as the segments move it expands outwards?

I am interested to see if there is a way of creating a metal ring which has a variable diameter, the only way I imagine that this can be done is using segments which come together to form a circle, once pulled away the diameter changes however, the problem I face is that when the segments are...

So, based on this equation higher temperatures at the surface don't result in heat traveling faster through the component but rather the same distance when compared to a lower applied temperature but in larger quantities? Also, you mentioned that a rough ratio of 10:1 could be used to determine...

Thank you for all of the wonderful help it has really helped allot! There is one thing that is still confusing me however. How is this equation independent of the temperature difference and contact area as I thought that these two variables played a large role in how heat traveled through a...

Thank you again for your help. Is there some sort of rough ratio which I could use to determine whether or not the component that I am dealing can be considered as a flat slab or not? For example I am currently dealing with a component which has an outer diameter of 120mm a width of 5mm...

Thanks for the replies, what if I was trying to find out how long it would take a cylinder such as that shown in my pervious post to reach the wall temperature. The conditions are that there would be a temperature applied to the outside diameter surface, inside diameter surface and top/bottom...

Thank you very much for your help, it is greatly appreciated! When I start looking at thicker, larger cross section 1D problems will I need to use different equations or would the above equation still apply? Also, if I have a large diameter hollow cylinder such as that shown below, with a...

Thank you very much, the results were similar to what I got from my simulations also. Could you please help me understand what this equation is? I searched for it online and kept on running into the energy equation: https://imageshack.com/i/0k6mvlp Is this where the equation came from and if...

Thank you for the reply, could you please explain why it would never happen and also how long would it take to get very close?

I have a rubber sample here, basically it is a slice with a diameter of 45mm and a depth of 3mm. If this sample was at 25 degrees Celsius and I applied 180 degrees temperature all around it (top, bottom faces and outside diameter) how long would it take for the centre point (last point to get...

Thanks for the reply. I have tried this: https://imageshack.com/i/mu2vb0g When I divide both sides by the coefficient I get a large formula on the right hand side which does not match the final result shown by the solver, I had also been told that the quadratic formula is required to solve this...

I have been trying to solve the following equation for the variable y: https://imageshack.com/i/0r9khg Where K and P are constants, I tried an online solver which gave me the following result: https://imageshack.com/i/nq4qm6g I attempted to solve for this by adding the -1/2(n^2 t^2 y) to...

Could anyone please let me know if this is correct or am I looking at it wrong?
