Cantilever beam Definition and 122 Threads

Hey guys, I'm designing a simple lift in the picture below. I've done nearly all the calculations but i still can't figure out how to calculate the maximum allowable load and stress that the beams can withstand. Also will welding affect any of these calculations dramatically? say that the...

Homework Statement The problem is to design a cantilever beam with a certain resonant frequency. Homework Equations w = sqrt (k/m) The Attempt at a Solution I know k for a beam and m can be written as density * volume. My question deals with the w. If I am given a...

Homework Statement im trying to write a program for a class but first i need the formulas for the bending moment and shear force. i have the displacement and angle of the cantilever beam under a point load: Y = -[(WX^2)/(6EI)][3a – x] for 0<x<a Y = -[(Wa^2)/(6EI)][3x – a] for a<x<L...

Hi, guys, i am struggling to figure out the answer of below question, please give your suggestions. thanks! Given Cantilever Beam 1 and Beam 2, the right ends are free, no constraint to put them two together. When no force acting on, they will stay together; while when there is pressure...

Homework Statement As in the attachment; cantilever beam with two UDLs and a point load of 1000N/m, 1000N, and 500N/m respectively. First UDL acts over the first 1m, point load at 1m, and the next udl over the next meter - so the total beam length is 2m. Max tip deflection is 2mm, what is the...

Homework Statement Im having a fixed end free end of cantilever beam under going a uniform load. With the beam length ranging 0-750 micron,width of 10-20micron and thickness of 0.5 and 1.0 micron.While the force ranging from 0-50microNewton. Homework Equations what is the maximum...

I have a college HNC engineering question which I am having problems with, I am OK with calculating the I values, and deflection (if needed). But am wondering on what formulae are required and how to use them, to calculate the maximum loading mass in Kg for a cantilevered beam. The question...

Good Evening! I've been looking at this problem for a bit and I am a little stumped on it. I asked two graduate level Fluids TAs and my other classmates and they are stumped as well. I hope that you can help... I am doing an experiment that involves a cantilever beam and wind flow that is...

Hello, I am modeling a Cantilever beam and there will be no loading except an excitation at the calmped end. Should I describe it as uniformally loaded or purely free? am confused :S

Hi there, I am a beginner and I need to do analytical derivation of a beam and model it in matlab. the beam is cantilever and it is excited at its cantilever end any hints to start? Cheers

Due to complications I have with drawing and uploading pics at the moment, I'll simply describe the model instead of posting a pic; it's a cantilever beam (ignore the cross section and modulus of elasticity given in the pic, and the force P) of length L = 1, the coordinate axis x is along the...

Hi everyone, I've just started to use COMSOL for the study of a simple cantilever beam and I'm facing some problems while calculating the eigenfrequencies and the frequency-response. I use the 3D MEMS Module>Solid, Stress-Strain. I create a 500e-6,100e-6,10e-6 box. From the Sub-domain menu...

Hi guys & girls, I have a problem, I am trying to calculate the residual stress as a function of depth of each layer. I am using a Focused Ion Beam system to milling/removal thin layers of material from each layer of this cantilever, & measuring the deflection. I can obtain the average...

I need some help. I writing up a lab report and I am not sure how to define the equtaion i took down in my notes. deflection = (4F/Ebh^3) * L Im not sure if this is the right eqution. If so can some one please tell me what the varibales: E, b, F and h are. Thanks

Ok I was given this problem: Problem: The deflection d of a cantilever beam of length L is given by the mechanics of materials equation d=PL^3/3EIWhere P is the force on the end of the beam and E is the modulus of elasticity, which has the same dimensions as pressure.Determine the dimensions of...

A cantilever beam is loaded by a uniform shear stress T on its upper surface. How to calculate the stress and deflections at the end of the beam?

I'm an undergrad. student trying to do research. Today was my first day working with grad students and one grad student gave me something to find. We have a cantilever beam made of aluminum nitride (AlN). The only things known about the beam are the dimensions and young's modulus. He wants to...

If i have two cantilever beams with a vertical prop between the free ends as shown in diagram, how do i find the load on the prop? I have the deflections of the beams to be: v (top beam)= (PL^3)/(3EI) v(bottom beam)=(5WL^3)/(48EI)-(PL^3)/(3EI) the prop is of diameter d, and length a...

If two cantilever beams are fixed at Left Hand Side (LHS) and joined to each other by means of a prop at RHS, how do i calculate the downwards vertical deflection of the bottom beam? The solution i need to prove is (5WL^3)/(48EI)-top deflection. However, i always seem to get a 7 where...

If a cantilever beam is subject to forced vibration (from a shaker at fixed end), what will the effect be of placing a mass at a)nodes and b)between nodes? I presume that as there is no displacement from the normal at the nodes, the mass will have little effect, but what about between the...
