Best fit MIN/MAX line through data.
Hello,
I’m working with mechanical fatigue test data. Generally this data falls in a logarithmic curve relating load to number of fatigue cycles. This data tends to be somewhat erratic so there need to be a lot of samples at multiple different loads to...
Hello Shooting Star.
Thanks for the input. You are correct, while system transfers no heat to the surroundings there probably is a sudden increase in temperature. That was something I did not consider.
In your link you submitted the following formula:

Since the process is quick, we’ll...
Hello,
This is not a homework problem, but an engineering office problem.
I’m looking to replace a steel compression spring with a gas cylinder. The spring is presently designed to absorb a known amount of kinetic energy which it ideally converts to potential energy (neglecting friction...
Well some more extensive searching eventually led to this web page:

I'm posting it here in case someone uses a search engine on these posts so they don't come up dry.
Thanks,

Formulas for acoustical dampening?
Hello,
A number of years back I worked at an engineering company where we needed to isolate very large, very loud motors from transmitting sound energy into the supporting structure. We did this with a series of elastic isolators that supported the motors...
t as a function of a and d
Sounds like a simple question and I'm bored at work so I'll take a shot at it.
Assuming (falsely) that both start velocity and end velocity are zero (or zero relative to each other). A ship in transit will spend half of it’s time accelerating, a relatively small...
Hello, I recently discovered this forum while searching for a force meter for measuring impulse from a punch. I also found the following article that people here might find interesting:
