Stress point calculation some practical help

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating stress points for materials used in systems transporting 12 tonnes of wheat. Participants suggest using beams and H-profiles as potential materials to withstand the pressure exerted by the grain. Key considerations include the angle of the system to ensure proper grain flow. The conversation emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate materials to maintain structural integrity under load.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of material properties, specifically tensile and compressive strength.
  • Familiarity with structural engineering concepts, particularly beam theory.
  • Knowledge of grain flow dynamics and the impact of angles on material stress.
  • Experience with CAD software for modeling structural components.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mechanical properties of various beam materials, including steel and aluminum.
  • Learn about the design and analysis of H-profiles in structural applications.
  • Explore grain flow mechanics and how angle affects material stress in transport systems.
  • Investigate CAD tools for simulating stress points in structural designs.
USEFUL FOR

Structural engineers, material scientists, and professionals involved in agricultural transport systems will benefit from this discussion.

TL;DR
What are the possible materials (beams, H-profiles) etc that can be used to withstand the pressure of the whole system if there are 12 tonnes of wheat in the pipe at all times? How you would make this system work?

There always has to be an angle so the grain flows
