Hey, thanks for your reply.
I don't need units, it's a the method I'm discussing! I a freelance chartered engineer and stress analyst - a d u use the word utilise often; it's a word lol.
I have solved the problem now, but wanted to discuss my approach! Maybe there is a better way of doing it!
Hello,
Been a while since I posted on here, nice to be back :) .
I just want some pointers as to the methodology for an impact load case that I'm looking at. I've attached a very basic sketch of a trolley which is traveling at a known velocity and impacts a rigid structure at it's base.
What...
Tax on Fear and steam king, thanks a lot for your input! Both methods make sense to me and I agree.
The supports at at A B and C consist of a block welded to each side of the support/beam and bolted to a column, which I will consider to be rigid.
I guess the beam won't rotate at its supports...
Hey guys,
I'm just pondering a beam problem fir a structure that I'm analysing. It appears statically indeterminate to me? The beam is bolted to a support at locations A,B & C. There are two point loads between span B-C.
There are no symmetrical distances or support locations etc.
Initially...
Hi guys,
I just wanted a quick sense check. I have uploaded two images; one showing basic free body diagram, one showing some quick scoping calculations.
My question is, to do a simple deflection calc on the box section legs of the frame, do I just use two multiples of my second moment of...
I HATE PROE. Takes ten hours to do 5 minute job. It's so archaic. Solid works is the best package I have used! They also have a great FEA package, which is way better than ProEs one - MECHANICA. I'm a massive solid works advocate :D
Hi guys, as pert he attached file;
I have a motor rotates the shaft which is attached (keyed) to grinding collar. This grinding collar has a spring force which keeps it flush against the surface.
I’m trying to determine if I have enough torque from the motor to turn the preloaded grinding...
Thanks for the reponses,
i basically am making a little torque driver calibration device (approximate) and thought it may be easier from an ergonomics point of view to have the calibration device sitting face up on a workbench surface, and then upon further investigtion i thought..."but...
Hello,
I think i may be over analyzing this basic problem, but if i have a lever similar to that attached, and i apply a load at one end and a counter moment at the over end (at the pivot center) to balance the load then the system is in equilibrium.
Now if the load applied on the end of...
