Principal Virtual Work Theories - Cylindrical Pipe Application

AI Thread Summary
Principal Virtual Work, also known as Equilibrium theory, can be applied to pipeline applications, specifically regarding collapse and buckling phenomena. This theory helps relate various components such as ovalisation, external pressure, and hoop strain in the context of pipeline integrity. Understanding these relationships is crucial for engineers dealing with pipeline design and safety. Seeking guidance from experts in engineering forums may provide deeper insights into practical applications. Engaging with knowledgeable peers can enhance comprehension of this complex topic.

Dear All,

Does anyone here familiar with a theory called Principal Virtual Work (Equilibrium theory) ?
I read somewhere that with this theory, i could relate(for pipeline application - collapse & buckling) the components for ovalisation, external pressure and hoop strain.
Appreciate if somebody could guide me on this matter.


Thank you

Regards

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
