Stress

AI Thread Summary

Allowance stress in vessels refers to the maximum stress that materials can withstand without failure, which can include tensile, compressive, or shear stresses. In the context of thin or thick-walled vessels, the specific type of stress may not be defined, so it is advisable to treat it as a general upper limit. If there is uncertainty about the type of allowable stress, it is recommended to seek clarification from the instructor. Understanding these stress types is crucial for ensuring the structural integrity of the vessels. Clear communication about stress specifications is essential in engineering discussions.

HI. :)

help me please.

when the problems says that there is an allowance stress, especially in thin or thick walled vessels, what kind of stress could it be?

thanks!

If the type of allowable stress is not specified (e.g., allowable tensile stress, or allowable shear stress), assume that the allowable stress is a general upper limit. If that doesn't feel right, seek clarification from the instructor.

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'Looking for dyno verified experiences with turbocharged 2-strokes'

Came across this forum and posts by Bluechipx about his real world experience with this subject while searching the web. Am building a turbo 2-stroke for Bonneville. Would be interested in hearing from anyone else with real world dyno verified experience on the subject. Been racing 2-strokes since '67.

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
