sorry for the confusion, I don't want to use the Simulation software for it since I only have Solidworks and there's no way it can do it. I was wondering if there's a way calculate it by hand? formula to follow? so I will know how many percent less is the force after the first impact and apply...
Hi, this is a structure that we designed to decrease the force as the absorber breaks (thin plates that is designed to break upon impact).
My question now is, is there a way to calculate the force after the first contact with the first plate? because I know the 1st plate will be destroyed and...
Let's say I made hole to install a post and the hole is 2'x2' and filled it with #4 rebar and 3000 psi concrete
how much force from the top it can handle without pulling out?
The question is mainly to know how much force per square foot does #4 rebar has combined with the 3000 psi concrete.
Good Day
I wanted to know if there's any article/site/resource that can give the formula/calculate the pull out force of the whole foundation design? This is a metal frame that will have rebar reinforcement on all sides. The two sides has both 60" of rebars and the width will only have 30" of...

Hi everyone,
I tried searching more about this question but I'm getting different answers from different websites/forum. I might as well ask it here.
This piece of rubber is 4"x2.15", it's not much of surface area but better than nothing at all.
My question now is, is it really true that the...
Hi there!
I am wondering what could be a great shape/geometry I could change/add to this stand (circled part)
This stand is meant to fall down on its back but apparently on smooth surface it just slides and does not tip over. What do you guys think? I am wide open to suggestions/idea. Thank...
Hi there! Glad to hear that.
I just started my first engineering job and currently working as an R&D Engineer. I love what I'm doing right now, it's great learning experience but I'm just preparing myself down the road. I am thinking of staying on this job while studying to get my MSAE for the...
Good Day Engineers,
To the people that has degree with Aerospace Engineering, how are you guys doing so far? I am planning to take Masters in Aerospace Engineering and wondering how is your job satisfaction? feeling about your career? work and life balance? and lastly the pay?
I finished my...
Hi there folks!
I have this tube with reinforced steel plates on 4 sides. The plates helps big time and lessen the stress concentration for about 40% less. My only concern is, the max stress is still higher than the yield and tensile strength of the material. There's only few things I can do...
Hi there!
I am designing a fixture to test a webbing. The impact force of the vehicle we'll crash is 104000 lbf. I was able to design a fixture that can withstand that force but the question is how can I keep this fixture stay in the ground. Concrete anchors? Dig a hole with metal and pour...
Good Day,
I am designing a fixture where we can put a strap and pull it. I am wondering if there's any other way to do the FEA for this fixture.
I designed two I beams parallel together while the cylinder rod is welded to one I beam and one have clearance so we can strap the webbing. I run the...
Good Morning,
I recently joined this forum. I am wondering if anybody here can share their knowledge on what things to consider, equations to used to calculate the Impact force of a 15,000 lbs truck driving at 50 mph. I am designing a bollard that needs to deal with these force and wanted to...
