I have to do a simple stress analysis for mast of a small wind turbine (3 blades, rotor diameter 4m).
For normal cases, almost anything would go, but in this case, the mast has to be longer (20m) to get the machine well above forest line.
Any recommendatios for the allowable deformation due to...
Well, as petrol price is now over 8$/gallon (here in Europe), I am going to replace my stationary engine/generator by steam piston engine (3-10kW output).
I have been looking for information on the latest developments in steam engine design, but it looks like they haven't changed much since...
What is the best source for strength data of stainless steel in different temperatures?
I know some ss steels are listed in Military Handbook 5, matweb.com pages in in building codes (fire engineering).
On the other hand, I'm sick and tired in bying new ridiculously priced codes, which just...
Any ideas where to find estimates for wind loads caused by a train passing by a traffic sign? Taking train's max speed (e.g. 200 mph) will give forces which are in my opinion too high. Any suggestions?
Any suggestions for a simple and (almost) free CAD program for a stress engineer?
I'm doing 3D geometry modeling using FEA pre-prosessor (femap), but sometimes I need to make 2D-drawings with dimensions etc. In other words, I want to modify geometry so that is does not look like it was made by...
Hi!
I'm looking for a FE package for my small engineering company (structural analyses only).
"Industry standards" ANSYS and MSC/Nastran/Patran are out of my budget so I'd need recommendations for a bit cheaper packages, please.
The program should have linear static, eigenvalue...
