    What are the different materials used in a spring shock absorber?

    I am to design a shock absorber for my project. Pl tell me what material the various components would be made of. Just gimme any rough idea you would have or just make a wild guess Anything! I just need a start and then I will take it from there. I have designed the thing on Solidworks but do...

    Principle stresses and maximum shearing stress in a cylindrical shaft. Pl help

    Homework Statement Nevermind the rough picture, the shaft is cylindrical. Knowing that the post has a diameter of 60mm, determine the principle stresses and the maximum shearing stress at point K. Homework Equations These are equations for your reference: \sigma = My/I \tau = Tc/J Where...

    Simple column buckling problem - pl help

    Knowing that the torsional spring is of constant K and that the rigid bar is of length L, determine the critical load P_{cr} beyond which the column would buckle. See pic for the problem. [As the spring uncurls, it applies moment K \theta to the bar.] The answer is P_{cr}=K/L

    Find equation of path of a point mass under influence of 2 central forces

    A point mass ‘A’ is kept at the origin. Another B is kept at the x-axis at x = H. Another C is kept at distance H from origin and distance h from B. A, B and C thus form an isosceles triangle with vertex A. Given that A's mass >> B's mass >> C's mass; Newton’s gravitational law governs the...
