    Calculate the pressure on a reel/drum

    Thankyou for your input! I agree that each layer would add more compressive load on the reel. But I would also gather that this pressure isnt constant or equal for each layer. So a simple addition of (layers x force per layer) may be wrong? I would guess that the latest layer would carry most...

    Calculate the pressure on a reel/drum

    I have this winch-reel (540mm wide, Diameter=800mm, cylinderer wall thickness=10mm) that is to be pulled by a wire. The maximum braking load on the winch is 4.3 metric tonnes (42kN). My task is to check the reel against buckling. I can determine the buckling if I know the relevant pressure on...

    Design criteria for thin plates of natural stone (granite).

    I agree that the uncertainty regarding fractures is an important issue. But I cannot see that it is practical to test every shelve. There must be some criteria with enough built-in safety. If there isnt any 'rule of thumb' or criteria in (like the L/720), I find that hard to believe. I am sure...

    Design criteria for thin plates of natural stone (granite).

    Hi! This is my first post to this community. At present I am designing a product which have unsupported shelves in natural stone (or wood). The shelves have a thickness of 27mm (~1"), and a maximum free span of 1m (~40"). I have searched the net for design criteria for thin plates made of...

    JIS Flanges table.

    I am looking for a table that describes flanges in the JIS standard, but so far I have had no luck. Anyone here that know a link or pdf file I can look up? The flange I am looking for has the following parameters: Nominell size: 150mm Class: 5 bar FF Regards, Morten
