Hello All,
I would like to have a good reference about the fundamentals of strain concentration due to an applied concentrated transverse load (simple bending), or the equation to calculate it analytically.

Hi all
I need to calculate the torsional deflection of a thin-walled beam of arbitrary section. Thin-walled beams behave like shells, so buckling is an important factor. Is there any equation to calculate the torsional deflection of thin-walled beams taking in consideration the buckling effect...
Hello All,
So I am working as a R&D engineer on a company, and recently developed an analytic model for the prediction of the mechanical behaviour of complex structures. The assumptions of the model are only valid for solid structures. However, the model may be particularly interesting for...
Hello All,
I would like to know if someone can give me a good reference of a book that covers the topic of torsion of thin-walled rectangular tubes from a stiffness perspective". I have a book with the theory for non-circular hollow-sections, but that's not really much.
Thanks,
Miguel Silva,MSc.
Hello all,
I want to apply a torsion moment on the nodes belonging to the transversal area of the midplane of a thin-walled beam. After following the suggestions given here: http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=153240 I could apply the torsion moment. However, the analytical and numerical...
Hello All,
I am doing some calculations, and I am calculating the torsional deflection of an internally reinforced rectangular section hollow-box beam. After looking at some websites and books, I have found that the twist angle is: T*L/(J*G), where
T is the torque
L is the length of the beam
J...
Hi All,
I heard that there are some older versions of ANSYS that are free, like the 5.4. Is this true? Anyone knows if there is a more recent, but still free version? And can you post the link to download the free version of the software?
Many thanks,
Miguel Silva
Hello All,
I am new in this forum.
I have just post-graduated in mechanical engineering. I already did an MSc. in Materials engineering. I am thinking of starting my own engineering consulting firm, however, when I think about that, some questions arise:
-What are the best places to acquire...
