    Second moment of area of Launch Vehicle adapter model

    I might have a look to reinforce my result that I have identified but I have input these values into several equations already so hopefully CAD will back my resolution up thank you for the help spanky489

    FEA issue with workbench plus question on equation with conical shells

    Hi everybody, I am designing conical shells in the aim to better understand the launch vehicle adapter and what changing thickness of conical shells will do to buckling load and natural frequency. I have an issue with certain equations I have characteristic equations with a critical axial...

    Second moment of area of Launch Vehicle adapter model

    Hi Yeah I was up late last night after a 9 hour shift at work so i was a bit tired. I think I realize this now that its a symmetric shape and that due to this I can use the Iz component for what I need, I been stressing over nothing probably. But to identify natural frequency there is an...

    Second moment of area of Launch Vehicle adapter model

    Hi again, I am once again confronted by a stumbling block which I am hoping I have got the correct idea with. I have values for Ix, Iy and Iz however I am looking for I itself or the resultant I within the conical structure. I realize second moment of inertia is similar to Momentum so...

    Second moment of area of Launch Vehicle adapter model

    Hi tiny-tim, Thank you for the help I like the fact it was so simple when you think about it like that I must admit I was worried until now. I will attempt to work it out and then tell you if I am able to find the answer. Thank you for your help :) wish me luck lol

    Second moment of area of Launch Vehicle adapter model

    I'm designing a model launch vehicle adapter (hollow truncated cone) with top diameter 60mm and lower diameter 80mm with a height of 1000mm. The skin thickness vary between options of 1.2mm 1.5mm and 2mm and I am trying to identify natural frequency. The issue is with second moment of inertia I...
