The biggest problem in talking with the experienced engineers who developed the original designers is that they don’t exist, at least not at our company. We started out as simply a manufacturing facility, building oem products and slowly over the years have acquired designs from companies we...
Alright, going to basically start over at this point.
Application-Forklift mast
Problem- When all stages extended, carriage or one section of mast pulling roller out of the mast by twisting the beam. The carriage twists when there is unequal loading on the forks or the fork truck is on an...
Assume the beams are sitting on the ground for the vertical constraint.
The green arrows in the picture below depict the horizontal constraint in both directions.
The forces are shown in blue are also applied on the hidden side of the other beam. They are equal per couple however are not...
The beams will be fixed at one end and all I am trying for is theoretical, there will be a factor of safety implemented.
I am thinking of cutting the section in half at the blue plan and treating it with a torsional load on a cantilever beam. The part I am unsure of is how to include the tie...
I'm looking to figure out a way to determine how often a welded tie bar is needed within a given length of I-beam. There will be a tie bar at each end and a force will be pushing on the flange of the beam (blue arrows) at the blue plane. This will cause the beam to want to peel out relative to...
