Hello.
I am doing buckling analysis of a flat plate under compressive load. The plate is rather thick, so the critical buckling allowable I get from the Euler-derived formulas in my text books gives me an allowable above the proportional limit of the material. No problem, I can just go to my...
Hello.
I often have to size or analyze secondary structures to abuse loads, the requirement for which I always see written as an ultimate load (150 lb, 300 lb, etc.) applied at the most critical location. Although I've never been able to find it explicitly written in the structures manuals or...
