    FE modelling of a peltier (TEC)

    Hi, I am creating a FE model of a heat source cooled using a pelter mounted to a copper block then to a heatsink. I am wondering on how to represent the characteristics of the peltier in steady state then a transient model. I am assuming the hot side of the peltier is at 50°C with a deltaT of...

    Welding of SHS to I Beam End-to-End

    Hi Guys, I wish to weld a 250mm SHS with an internal flush end cap to a 200HEB I beam. The combined beam will be horizontal and the bottom of the SHS will align with the bottom flange of the I beam, see attached. The connection will be subject to bending forces, not yet established. Is it...

    Damping Constant

    Hi, Can someone help me work out the damping constant of a cylindrical viscous damper. I know the viscosity of the oil, the ID of the tube, the OD of the piston and its velocity. The oil is effectivly being forces through an annular area from one side of the piston to the next. Any help...

    Vibration Isolation

    Hi, Hopefully someone can give me some assistance. I have a mass that I wish to isolate with 4-off AV mounts. The mass (40kg) is subject to a 1/2 sine input of 30g 18ms. The isolators I have in mind have a 'Q' of 5. How can I calculate the velocity due to the shock, the natural frequency of...

    Random Vibration Help

    I have a stepped random vibration PSD profile going from 20Hz to 2000Hz (4.2 grms). If I know the mass, stiffness, etc how can I calculate the max acceleration and displacement. I think it uses convolution integrals but I require some help to understand it. Any help would be appreciated...

    Random Vibration Calculations

    I have a stepped random vibration PSD profile going from 20Hz to 2000Hz (4.2 grms). I have a suspended mass of about 5kg on 4 off AV mounts. Can anyone give me an idea of how to select the mounts or caclulate the response given that the frequency of the suspended mass has to be approx. 40Hz? I...

    Anti Vibration Mounting

    Can anyone provide me with any good site references for how to mount electronic assemblies using rubber AV mounts? What consideration are required, i.e. C of G position, etc. I have to design to withstand random vibration and shock loading in 3 axes. Any help would be appreciated.

    Heat Removal

    Can anyone help me?? I am trying to evaluate the size of hole (diameter and length) that I need to remove one Watt of heat from an aluminium component. This requirement is for general cooling of a component with heat loads contained within as aluminium alloy has good thermal conductivity. If...
