Click For Summary
To analyze the forces in a bunk bed design supported by wall-mounted slide rails and support legs, begin by applying static equilibrium principles, ensuring that the sum of forces in all directions equals zero. The total user weight and bunk load is 102kg, which must be considered in the calculations. Reference the maximum load limits of the rail mechanisms to ensure they can safely support the weight. It's essential to visualize the forces acting on the bed, including vertical and horizontal components. Starting with these fundamentals will guide the analysis effectively.

Analyse forces of bed...

Hi,

As shown in my earlier post i need to analyse the forces of my bunk bed design

I know how to analyse forces in 2d beams and trusses etc but my problem involves a bed supported on a wall by 2 slide rail mechanisms and 2 support legs as shown in the link. The user weight and bunk combined = 102kg. Please show me how to at least start my analyses...

The max load limits of the rail I am using are shown in this link http://www.misumi-europe.com/eucatal..._0293-0294.pdf

Thanks.

Sum of the forces in the ?" "? direction equals zero.

That is how you start.

Thread 'What mathematics software should engineering students use?'

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
