Tapered, arched beam stiff mass matrices ?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the need for stiffness and mass matrices for tapered and arched beams in 3D frame elements with six degrees of freedom per node. The original poster is struggling to find relevant information through Google searches, which mostly yield results related to 2D frame elements. A suggestion is made to use the term "curved" instead of "arched" to improve search results. A specific resource is provided, linking to a thesis that may contain useful information on the topic. The conversation highlights the challenges of finding specialized engineering formulations online.

Hi all,

Actually I'm supposed to run and find results in google search. But that doesn't give any useful information, retrieves some nomenclatures which deals with estimation of technique or deriving the stiffnesss mass matrices for 2D frame element. But I'm looking for 3D frame element with 6DOF per node.

The title may seem a bit confusing, I'm looking the stiff and mass matrices for tapered beam, arched-tapered beam and arched beams.

Does anybody can give any entry-point on that ?

Regards,

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
