Curve Strain Stress Stress strain curve

AI Thread Summary

Using Excel 2007, proof stress calculation can be automated by creating a line with a y-intercept at 0.2% and a slope matching the initial slope of the material's stress-strain curve. The point where this line intersects the curve indicates the proof stress. This method allows for a systematic approach to determining proof stress without manual calculations. Users expressed gratitude for the guidance and indicated plans to try the method soon. Overall, the discussion highlights an effective way to utilize Excel for material stress analysis.

using excel 2007, can the construction to determine the proof stress of a material not be done manually? if so, how?

Create a line with y intercept at 0.2% and a slope equal to the initial slope of the curve. Check where the line intercepts the curve; this will be the proof stress. Does this answer your question?

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
