Does anyone know of a modification to the Zick analysis that would enable 3 saddle supports instead of 2. Are there any other design methods for using 3 supports. I know that 3 supports are usually not desirable but I am tryinig to determine stresses in an existing unit having 3 saddles...
I need to determine the total drag force applied from a moving liquid to an elliptical shaped pipe. The final objective is to determine the bending moment and the bending stress of the pipe due to this force. Drag loads are outside my normal job requirements, therefore I have very little...
