I have been tasked to analyse a plate that will be bolted to a bulkhead. The plate has 2 beams welded to it. My question is what failure modes do I need to look at. I have done bearing (tear out) of the fasteners but what are the other modes I need to look at?
The plate is 220 mm wide by 100...
I apologise if this is obvious. I was having a discussion at work and someone said that back calculating stress from Young’s Modulus isn’t good practice. The problem is that the analyst has calculated the compressive stress from the deflection using sigma = (E x extension) / length. Does anyone...
Hi
I am an apprentice engineer trying to learn about beam, and beam bending.
I have done a little presentation analysing a double overhanging beam. Please could one of you wonderful seasoned Engineers let me know if I have got it correct?
The first image is of the beam with 2 point loads of...
Hi.
I've just started a stress job and have been given a bracket 5" by 3" by 0.25" thick to stress. It is attached by 8 fasteners and has a lug around an inch from one end. I've managed to use a bolt group spreadsheet to extract the load per fastener but am a bit lost as to how to analyze the...
