    Theorem
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the difference in horizontal displacement between fixed supports and frictionless pins or hinges as analyzed using the Castigliano Theorem. Fixed supports (4a) provide greater stability and resistance to displacement compared to frictionless pins or hinges (4b), which allow for some movement. The participants seek clarification on the original question regarding the specific differences in displacement caused by these support types. The conversation indicates a need for visual aids to better understand the concepts being discussed. Understanding these differences is crucial for accurate structural analysis and design.

What is the difference between this two types of support when we finding horizontal displacement?

4a is a fixed support.
4b is a frictionless pin or hinge.
 
Depending upon the method of attachment, "A" would be a lot stronger.

Oops! Hang on now... what was the original question? Did you mean what is the difference in the displacement?
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
