Forces on a pipe
Forces on a pipe
(OP)
Hi all;
I am out of my electrical field and need help. For an idea of what I need here is my problem...
I need to calculate Bending Moment, lateral thrust, wind, and ice loading forces on a 30'long, 4" sched 80 aluminum pipe clamped to a tower mast at the 4' mark of the pipe. How do I calculate this?
Also is there any software available that will generate some numbers on where and when fatigue will happen.
Any help you can offer is MOST appreciated. Thanks

If you certify the adequacy of this pipe, you would be practicing engineering outside of your field.
