Hello.. i am trying to determine the maximum deflection of a beam on account of its sagging due to its own weight. I have the CAD MODEL of the beam and i import its IGS into ANSYS WB14.static structural. 1.is it a uniform distributed loading case? 2.i need to simply support the beam at both...

thank you for your reply.. this is to be used in water for jetwashing at normal temperature and a operation duration of 14 hours subjected to a working pressure of 280 bar Seamless pipe material: ASTM A 106 Grade B Pipe schedule: 160 3/4” (the nominal pipe size) Important consideration:1) this...

what is the recommended method to join two lengths of seamless pipes such that the joint should sustain a particular operating pressure?

Hello All, i am working on an HHO dry-cell project for which i need to decide upon the sensors to be used in monitoring the process parameters. 1. some sensor for monitoring and displaying the electrolyte level in the bubbler during experiment. 2. some sensor for monitoring the...

Hello , Pursuant to a relentless mugging into material data sheets,I am still unable to identify the material of a component corresponding to the hardness of which i measured using an ultrasonic equipment. its 240-260 HV(vickers).I need to know the material for procuring the component to the...

did mechanical engineering..but all along i used to think that all we have done is solving problems with no approach to designing..books had published problems and we are required to make FBDs and arrive at answers..but i wonder how are these mechanicall systems actualy designed..whats the...

good insight K2.a question.how can we calculate the force exerted on an object when we only know the kinetic energy it possesses and nothing else?.

yes but i want to know the physical intrepretation of these two stress..why are they important.when do we need to calculate them..

sir..are bearing and shearing stresses part of internal forces/loads?

i recently came across a problem which has raised a question in my mind... heres the link to it http://www.mathalino.com/reviewer/mechanics-and-strength-of-materials/solution-to-problem-119-shear-stress the Rbh force tries to shear it horizontally while the Rbv tries to shear it...

thank you bobby and alpha zero for your kind replies..it did however strike me that this problems relates more to harmonics ..cause overlapping cables can form LOOPS and the blizzards can make them vibrate...you may have also seen the RAILINGS on the top on which the cables are SUSPENDED.what...

hello all.there is a electric hoist cradle(Temporary personnel lifting;make fixator) which one of our contractor uses to clean the outside glasses of a high rise building.the cables are suspended up at the top railing with fasteners and then the electric motor escalates the cradle for use.the...

yeah but how is a jet of steam produced and used to heat drinks?..

thank you for your reply sir .quite enlightening.however they stimulate me with some more queries, "There is always a "flattened" area of the tire in contact with the road (because the total contact area, times the air pressure, is what supports the weight of the car.)"-->does the total flat...

the pressure of air inside a car tyre increases when the car is traveled at HIGH SPEEDS?why is this so?my guess is that at high speeds,the friction between the tyre and road surface increases..so kinetic energy is dissipated as heat energy due to friction.this heat is transfers to the inside of...
