    Scissor Lift Mechanism

    Actually disregard that. I end up with zero=zero. That is not the way to go.

    Scissor Lift Mechanism

    Let's call the bottom two supports point A and B. Do sum of moments about A. Now do sum of moments about B. And finally sum of forces in Y equal zero. You now have 3 equations with 3 unknowns.

    Eccentric Point Load to Trapezoidal Load

    I don't understand.

    stupid question regarding projectiles

    The OP is simply asking if you could have the bullet come out of the rifle at a higher velocity if you didn't waste some of its energy in making it rotate inside the barrel.

    stupid question regarding projectiles

    rconner, you are correct. I am often astounded at the answers here. People don't read the question.

    how effective is direct metal-to-metal contact for heat conduction?

    Racook, I don't understand what you mean. I don't want to seem mean or anything..... I just don't get it. I'd like further explanation of your point. Thanks.

    Truss Deflections

    medeek, are you required to double check the values provided by the truss manufacturer? I buy Crosby shackles but I don't feel compelled to check that they are correct in their provided 4 or 5:1 safety factor. Just wondering if this is more of personal interest than a requirement of your...

    Mounted Vessel Statics Problem

    I need to say that moment distribution by hand is more than a 10-minute exercise. Closer to an hour or more to double check the tedius algebra.

    Bending Moment Applied to Fillet Welds

    I agree with racookpe1978, partially. Use the correct reason: that you find it too complicated to calculate. Not that it will be overstressed no matter what.

    Bending Moment Applied to Fillet Welds

    Maturin, do you mean that you will refuse to do calculations on this arrangement? Just curious.

    Retaining wall loads

    It would be the same. Force on the wall due to water is calculated using the pressure.

    Friction head

    Another simple way to look at it is that on the discharge, the friction force is pushing on the column of water towards the pump (therefore increasing pressure at the pump). And on the suction side, the friction force pushes on the column of water away from the pump (decreases the pressure at...

    Bending Moment Applied to Fillet Welds

    Another note, when transferring your bending moment to your weld I would suggest applying an appropriate stress concentration factor due to the abrupt change in bending cross section. I'd also apply a more conservative FOS than usual to this kind of problem.

    Bending Moment Applied to Fillet Welds

    The most complicated aspect of this arrangement for me would be to figure out how the load is transferred from below to the weld. As someone suggested in the thread referenced above, maybe assume the effective weld length coming up at a 30 or 45 degree from the load? After the above is assumed...

    Mounted Vessel Statics Problem

    I worked out both....the general solution taking into account the rotation then I presented the solution of the specific case where the vertical leg lenght is small/negligeable (as a check to the general solution).
