Edge Member Shearing

Click For Summary

To calculate edge shearing of a member, the bearing load on the center plate is determined to be F/2 at each bolt. Since there are two shear planes involved in tearout, the shearing tearout load at each plane is calculated as F/4. This approach allows for a clear understanding of how forces are distributed across the bolts and shear planes. The discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing the number of shear planes when calculating edge shearing. Accurate calculations are essential for ensuring structural integrity in engineering applications.

in the case of the picture below, for the central plate of thickness 1 inch, is it the force on a bolt F/2 divided by 2at that results in F/4at ?thanks

If I understand the question correctly, the bearing load on the center plate is F/2 at each bolt, and since there are 2 shear planes for tearout, then the shearing tearout load at each plane is F/4.

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
