This is our equipment which is attached to the building structure similar to below:
Our equipment is a camera with pan-tilt unit. The purpose of the analysis is to provide evidence that it will not become a missile if a seismic event occurs. So essentially for the fixings shown not to fail...
Should existing loads from o rings & preload in bolts be considered when carrying out a static seismic analysis?
Obviously compression of an o ring in a face seal requires a certain amount of force. Likewise a bolt tightened to a specific torque induces a tensile stress in the bolt. Should these...
