Hello,
How to I calculate the change in ID of a hard coat anodized aluminum tube with an increase in temperature of the tube?
I found this formula:
d' = d(1 + \alpha \delta T)
\alpha is linear expansion coefficient
Does this work for both the ID and OD of the tube?
Regards,
Paul
Hi,
I'm trying to determine the failure point for a tube with a slot. The tube has a piston sliding back and forth, and is loaded laterally by an external weight attached to the piston through the slot.
I can't seem to find an equation representing the moment of inertia for a tube with a...
Hello,
I have a seating application that involves a metal cylindrical tube, steel or aluminum most likely, which includes a metal cylinder sliding back and forth. The tube has a slot on top through which a rod extends from the cylinder to support a seat.
I have a prototype working, which was...
