Let me first say I'm by no means an Engineer, however I am involved to a degree in the design process, and in the end everything is stamped by one of our PE's anyway. Now my question:
In looking at the Euler formula for determing critical loads in columns, I see that there are several end...
Some time ago I came across an equation for calculating impulse of a falling object, given its mass and how far it falls.
the equations were:
Velocity: v^2 = 2gH (I'm curious how this was derived)
Impulse: J = m(2gH)^1/2
What I was interested in was estimating the forces generated by a...
I use simple wall brackets to support piping, etc... that usually consist of a rectangular tube welded between (2)lengths of angle (somewhat like a gusset connection on each side). The other toe of each angle (the one not welded to the tube) is drilled with 2 holes for mounting to the wall with...
I base most of my fluids system designs from Camerons Hydraulic and Crane Paper #410, neither of them list any data for friction factors in stainless (304,316L) tube. Does anyone have a reference for this info, or gathered any empirical data themselves? I'm mainly interested in numbers for...
Hello all, I've got a beam design issue that I'm fighting with. I'll state the general scenario, then get to my question:
I've got a horizontal wide flange beam hanging (bolted) to (2) horizontal sqaure tubes that are 48" on center. The beam extends beyond one connection and has a point...
