Thanks for your help guys. Ahem....I am following this thread! :)
I have set up the data in a MathCad worksheet and using two sets of accelerations, I appear to be getting reasonable accelerations as functions of time. I am using these values to approximate wheel loading on my frame...
Hello all,
I was hoping to get some feedback/advice from the group.
I have a frame for which I would like to get a much better handle on what is going on with it.
I have 3-axis acceleration data at 5 locations on a frame with respect to time (about 60 seconds worth). What I am trying to...
Gentlemen,
Allow me to give my 2 bits worth. I am still tickled that I found this forum and feel it is great.
Remlap,
My views on your questions are as follows:
1) You probably shouldn't care what the natural frequency of the mount is. I am assuming you are using the anti-vibration mounts as...
I know a quick and dirty thing that I have done within ANSYS if I wanted to know what the weight of something.
Assign a density to your part and do a quick static analysis with one G factor applied. (remove all other loading). After solving, look at your reactions.
Hi.
I will add to the great info that TVP supplied above.
The question you pose is a good one. The answer and reason for peoples confusion (including myself at times) is just nomenclature.
In general terms:
When someone refers to a material having a FATIGUE LIFE they are implying a given...
Softmech,
I would agree with Bradh in that this does not seem like a problem warranting FEA. This is providing you do not have some unusual geometry in your rotating shaft that you can't find tabulated stress concentration values for. Definately start with a hand calculation as opposed to...
