I got this doubt suddenly. I have shown a two member truss having same E and A and Pin joint end conditions.
Let,
W= work done by external force, which is, Fdy
E1 is the Work done by Member 1, which is, F(1)^2*L/EA
E2 is the work done by Member 2, which is same as E1, F(2)^2*L/EA
(I may...
Double Integration method and Area moment method is used to determine beam deflection assuming that the elastic curve is very flat with the result of ds=dx.
How much deflection can be measured using this process without serious error?
In the picture below (Cantilever beam),
After using double...
In the picture a space truss beam is shown.
Its not a truss because the Webs are welded, not pinned and the main four exterior members are solid Members. So they can resist bending moment where in pure truss they only can resist Tension and compression.
Its basically a open web complicated...
For aircraft please name some good (High Specific strength, cost efficient) material for Beams that will undergo both compression and bending.
Its like homebuild aircraft of about 10 ft in length and 50 kg in mass.
Low, Medium or High density, Which types of balsa wood is most cost effective and Structurally efficient and available in market?
Is it possible to have a balsa wood block of 5ft long and 3x3" cross sectional area in market?
As this wood beam will be subjected to bending, to make it highly...
Which is the strongest way to join a Wood beam and a Metal frame?
And Which is the strongest way to join a Wood beam and a Metal Beam?
In the link below I have shown two ways representing both cases.
In figure 1, A wood beam is joined with Metal beam in a way. Which is the strongest joint...
Equation of Flexure stress due to bending moment is Stress= (Moment x y / I) is for materials having the modulus of elasticity same for both Tension and Compression. And consideration is Strain is Linear. And its applicable for all types of cross section with a very minor error.
But for...
There is a cantilever beam. One end is Fixed and other end is supported by an Inclined cable.
.
Loading is vertically downward at the Tip of beam, denoted as P. Beam and cable are not considered Rigid. So they are considered to be deformed.
.
So due to P, Flexure stress will govern and bend the...
