Thanks IDS,
This is exactly the logic I was refereing to and which did give me the reason as to WHY the reaction SHOULD be greater than the applied weight.
But it didnt give me the answer to HOW or WHAT CAUSES the reaction to be greater than the weight.
It is as if the reaction self...
Hi everybody, there is a fundamental question regarding the reasoning for the observed efect in the case mentioned below. I am unable to understand How does such a thing originate (the details of the - HOW and WHAT are in the question). So please read on and be kind to explain the observed...
Hi desertfox
Read the attatchment and thanks for it.
Yes its a bit difficult to explain and thanks for understanding what I am struggling with.
As for the capital letter are concerned, it was not shouting in any sense, but just a way of emphasising - highlighting the important part, just...
Hi Desertfox
Thanks again for replying.
But I do understand the fact that steel being stronger than wood requires a greater force to bring about a certain strain ( say 0.5mm as you mentioned) than the force required by wood for the same strain.
But the question is actually HOW DOES IT APPEN...
Thanks Desertfox and tmoose for the esponse.
But I was not lookinfg for the solution ( iI know these methods already) BUT infact asking or wanted to know that HOW EXACTLY does steel take up more load.....WHAT HAPPENS THERE THAT THE GEATER LOAD IS TAKEN BY STEEL(I mean steel or wood cant...
I've always wondered on how actually do Flitched Beams work.
Now there it is considered that the strain in steel and wood are equal ( it is very much visible) and the design continues with this condition of design, that, e(s) = e(w).
So, ?(s)/?(w) = E(s)/E(w)is the design criteria.
I could...
