Yes, it's evenly distributed. There will be a rod sitting across the goal posts that will be applying the load. Stress should be it's highest down near the base. Since I'm measuring stress at the base and you say it's not a parallel axis problem is it just bd^3/12 for the base section and...
All,
Yes the load will be applied in the grooves of the goal post bending it back, so all the stress should be at the bottom (where we're placing the strain gauge). From your answers looks like I've got a couple options:
If it's just the rectangular section the gauge is on that you have to...
Thanks for the input. I know the equations, I'm just not sure which dimensions are b and d. The load will be applied at the top of the goal post (see view 1 in attachment).
Would I have to use the parallel axis theorem to do this, since parts of the beam are further out from the axis of...
Hi All,
Here's the situation, I'm planning on installing a strain gauge on a goal post shaped steel beam (dimensions/drawing attached). We'll be applying load at the top of the goal post and reading strains down near the base (half way between the posts and the base actually) and we're trying...
Hello All,
Quick question that I couldn't find a specific answer to on google. I'm doing some testing on a part to find it's natural frequency, my question is two fold:
1. The part is usually mounted on an engine, do I need to have it mounted as it normally would be to get a correct natural...
Ok, definitely helped. Could you explain "averaging" though? My data comes from one test so I don't think there should be anything to average...unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean. Sorry if this seems like a basic question, I'm just trying to be as thorough as possible.
Alittle more...
Hello all,
I'm working with some accelerometer data and I'm wondering if anyone can give me a brief walkthrough of what's happening when I am looking at a "Spectrum Peak Hold"? I've tried googling the phrase and I get nothing useful. When I apply the SPH what comes out is just a frequency...
