Homework Statement Hi guys, I just wanted to confirm I am doing this right. I have a graph of energy (Joules) vs. time (seconds). I need to get the force from this information. If I know the linear distance the object has traveled, can I use the work equation W= Force* Distance, and solve...

Hi Jericho, I do appreciate your help and realized my mistake. I just wanted to make a moment diagram to see how the loads would vary throughout the length of the beam. I did take sum of moments around the fixed supports to find the force reactions, however, i did not include moment reactions...

How will CD have more flex if the moments are not nearly as large as the one between B-C, more specifically at C.

here are the pictures Please put in your input guys. I am very curious. Thank you

some work Hey guys, I did a force and moment balance and did a quick FEA in cad. I was expecting the max stress to be within regions B-C because this would have the highest bending moments. However, FEA shows otherwise. Anyone know why? Thank you, Sciencerocks

Hi Everyone, I am a student studying civil engineering and want to do a stress analysis on a part I have made in Solidworks (CAD software). However, it is somewhat complex for handcalculation purposes, so I have simplified it down. I want to run a full ansys simulation on the part, however I...
