Yes, yes - that's exactly what I was trying to say, but apparently I wasn't clear enough... =) - When I measure the strain I cannot determine how much of it was caused by the force F and how much by the torque T (in the picture), right? - So too many unknowns... I asked if this can even be...

Yes, the beam will be relaxed at first and then the load will be brought upon it. So the stress in the beam should be as follows: Coordinate system: x right; z down Fx -> normal force in x -> normal stress σ in x Fz -> shear force in z & bending moment around y -> tensile stress τ in z...

Hello! I have a problem/question and would appreciate your thoughts and experience. So I have a »tip loaded cantilevered beam« as shown in the picture. On it's end there are a force and a torque acting in an unknown direction in the 2D plane. I have to experimentally determine the force...

Hello! I am a student of mechanical engineering, but I always loved aircrafts, and I want to get involved with aerospace engineering as soon as possible. Could you please suggest any good books about basics of flight mechanics on university level? I googled it a bit, but there are so...

Yes, sadly. Just for you I am attaching the original photo here. :smile:

Yes, I did. Maybe it seems like I didn't, because I made it black and white and unfocused in the corners, so that the apple tree takes all attention from the viewer. Yes, the slogan is a bit disturbing, but it has to be there to follow the rules of the organiser. That pop-up screen is just to...

Hey guys! When I was on a trip in Cambridge I took a picture of the famous apple tree, that is supposed (so the turist office claims:-p) to be the one, where Isaac Newton got the idea for his most importaint work. In the back there are two windows and one of them (I think it's the right one)...
