AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a table of products of inertia for common shapes. Another participant suggests the FE Handbook, specifically the Dynamics section, which contains a useful table with relevant information. They provide a direct link to the handbook for easy access. The discussion also notes issues with file size when attempting to share the table directly. This resource is highlighted as beneficial for those needing information on products of inertia.

Hi folks,

I am looking for a table that lists products of inertia for some common shapes. Does anyone know where I can find one online?

Thanks,

Tom

If you go to the section on Dynamics (pgs. 29-33 I believe) there is a pretty decent table with Ixy, etc... in the last column. You can download the entire reference or just chapters.

I tried to upload just the table but it was 7 k too big.

Hope this helps.
 
Over 100KB even after zipping...?That's big,indeed.

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
