I want to model a connection between two CHS and one SHS in FEM beam model.
How do I make the model to consider that the SHS does not reach the center of the CHSs, but only their exterior surface?
I attach two possible model solutions. I believe the first one is unrealistic since the length...
I am calculating a padeye with a shackle, in which the force coming from a cable is deviated a certain angle in the both represented views (vertical and horizontal deviation), due to cable misalignment.
Does the fixed surface in red have a torsion moment?. I can easily find a tension force...
I have a rectangular steel plate with a bolt in the middle and pinned supports at each extreme.
The bolt transmits a force to one side of the plate. Theoretically (following linear statics), both supports have the same reaction force value. But is this tru in reality? Doesnt large deformations...
I am doing reinforcement pad calculations for nozzles with 0.05MPa design internal pressure with ASME VIII - Div. 1 2017.
My input data from client specifies a test pressure requirement of 0.15MPa internal pressure (I know its hydraulic test).
Should I consider 0.15MPa or 0.05MPa in UG-37...
I wonder which is the most theoretically better and accurate mesh of a circular section subjected to perpendicular distributed load and with interest in stresses in the whole plane.
I have seen several examples, using either triangular elements only or a mix between triangular and rectangular...
I calculate the ducts for air cooled condenser conducts which come out of turbines and end up in condensers, in EfW and CCGT plants.
I have always assumed a static fem model with pressure, temperature... etc, but in reality, the system is dynamical because the steam is constantly flowing...
