    Engineering Drawings and Tolerances

    Dear Tick: How many percentage of drawings you've been engaged with were completely tolerance-specified?

    Engineering Drawings and Tolerances

    Does it required (as a rule) that every technical drawings (with dimension) should have specified condition for tolerancing? In other words can some dimension be left without tolerances?

    Roof Structure Finite Element Analsis of Cone AST

    To Motorspirit: How you can find compression force in every single members of a cone roof structure composing of central ring, radial rafters and circumferential girders (by hand calc.), Having different loading, dead load, ...?

    Roof Structure Finite Element Analsis of Cone AST

    Thamks Motorspirit for your reply. Please tell me what do you mean by "...a span/250-300 range"? FYI, the problem arised when already designed roof structure started to build at site where it is found that single beam of IPE180 (means H=180mm) have a ~20 cm deflection with length of ~21m. So...

    Seawater Intake Pumps

    To vpl: the link is http://www.panoramio.com/photo/16091735 which is uploaded (as the link said) by Yeong Wei Kheen and related to Dung Quat Refinery : Unit 34, perhaps your plant moved to vietnam overnight?! All of the pumps that i've seen and transfer seawater was made mainly from SS (i mean...

    Seawater Intake

    Thank you cvg for your reply. Let see it from this point of view.if take a look to the picture again it seems the piping is not CS. it resembles more to the HDPE (or GRP), which is weak in shear comparing to the CS. in this regard i think settlement of concrete intake is main reason to have A/G...

    Seawater Intake Pumps

    Thanks TenPenny for your reply. But, please consider that with fixed suction level we can have both A/G and U/G discharge. Considering expensive SS for pumps, less material saves a lot of money, that cover costs for civil works (openings for access?). if take a look to the picture again it seems...

    Seawater Intake Pumps

    Does anybody knows why the designer of this intake, decided to have a above-ground discharge for seawater pumps, first, and then let them going U/G after some meters? Let it asked in another way. If the outlet run U/G from the begining, then we have shorter pump, and therefore less material for...

    ISO 9000/9001/9002 certified US companies

    Does anybody know that what percentage(approx.) of US companies are ISO 9000/9001/9002 certified?

    Determination of Enclosed Area

    Thanks everybody for responses. The drawing which i attached is actually drawn in Autocad but approximately. As CarlB said i also reached to the fact that there isn't any exact solution to the A/M broblem, until another Euler arises on the earth.

    Determination of Enclosed Area

    Let's try this approach. Suppose length of circular arc is L and half of distance between end of lines is b (see attached file). then we will have: RxAlpha=L/2 Rxsin(Alpha)=b So we have: Alpha-Cxsin(Alpha)=0 where C=L/2/b This will give us a non-linear equation that i don't think whether it has...

    Steve, your confession gave me pleasure in deep.

    Determination of Enclosed Area

    Thank you CarlB. Would you please tell me how it can be drawn in autocad? after i create two lines, there isn't any option for draw of a circular arc with two "start" and "end" points and "length" of arc.

    Determination of Enclosed Area

    Thank brandoncdg for your reply. It seems there is a misunderstanding here. These lines are not existing ones in autocad. It is an area, on the ground, with following information: 1- two perpendicular lines with 210 and 260 m length. 2- a circular arc which connect end of these lines together...

    Determination of Enclosed Area

    Is there any way to calculate area shown in the attached file, mathematically (not numerically and approximately). The restriction two lines are perpendicular and the arc is circular. Any feedback/reference will be highly appreciated.

    Roof Structure Finite Element Analsis of Cone AST

    Thank you JStephen for your reply. If we have stresses in the range, but large deformation in the roof,could this lead to excessive flexibilty of roof? I mean consider a future case when a repair worker enjoyed jumping up and down (like trampoline), until whole structe collapses. I can't find...
