I am trying to design a shear pin that will connect two drive shafts. I can calculate the shear stress that will be applied to the pin, however in order to design the pin to fail at a given stress level I have to employ a certain failure criterion. Any suggestions on how to relate the...
I have a 25' round steel rod with a diameter of 1.125". This rod is not straight, but rather has a radius of curvature of "p". Does anyone know how to calculate the axial force necessary to straighten the rod? I don't know a formula to determine lateral deflection in a curved beam due to axial...
I have a Fisher control valve and on the front of the actuator is a table listing "initial spring settings (PSI)" for various valve configurations. What does this mean? Does this mean that the actuator spring has been tightened to the point where it takes that much pressure to start the...
Could someone do me a huge favor and verify my calculation of the pressure rating of A106 Gr. B threaded pipe as per ASME B31.3?
What I get for threaded 2" STD pipe @ 100F is P=1,122 PSI
for threaded 1" STD pipe @ 100F I get P=1,465 PSI
Do these numbers sound right? I am second guessing...
