    Exploring the World of Threading: A Scientist's Perspective

    As a former NASCAR driver & crew chief for a little over 10 years, I was always looking up new info on topics that were generally hard to find. Occasionally I would find answers, or at least discussions on the PF site. I currently do quite a bit of field work that involves testing I-Beams and...

    Calculating Deflections of I-Beams with Varying Loads and Supports

    My objective is to be able to calculate only vertical deflection of I-Beams (i.e. knowing which formula to use). Constants: Using a pair of I-Beams running parallel to each other with a single load being applied from directly above. The load sits on a steel plate across both Beams that are 4"...
