The code defines Ry as " Ratio of the expected yield stress to the specified minimum yield stress, Fy". For A36 that number is 1.5. My question is should I increase the entire curve or factor the minimum yield point and adjust the latter points to converge with the non-factored data?
I am looking for multiple values along stress strain curves for ASTM A36, A325 , and A304 SH1. I am trying to model the behavior in a program and so I need various values to make a more accurate curve. If anyone could help me and point me in the proper direction to some documentation with...
I have a model created that that has a fixed end on one side and a tension load on the other end. There are various bolts that are in shear on this assembly. I have attached a screenshot of the model. I am trying to model the stresses in bolts and get them to fail in shear. What keeps...
I am using Abaqus for research and I am having a hard time connecting to the required server to access the license when I am not hardwired on site. Its a VPN issue and not the topic of this post. I bring this up however because this is the reason I want to start using Abaqus through the...
I am designing a plate girder for a crane rail system. I have the moment and shear envelopes and have started the design. In the 14th ed of the Manual section J10.3 There are two (2) cases, when the compression force is greater than or equal to d/2 and when the compression force is less than...
I am taking a structural dynamics course and I have been asked for a small assignment to graph a function, graph the Fourier Transform, then graph the inverse Fourier Transform. I have heard that the FFT and IFFT is not as accurate as using the Fourier Transform. I just want to know if that is...
When designing a residential garage there is usually an issue with the front wall (the one with the garage doors) being able to resist the lateral wind loading. Depending on the situation this is taken care of with either a wooden shear wall design or steel moment frame design. I would like to...
I am new to Mathcad and I am trying to make a simple load combination sheet where I enter in the loads (i.e. dead, live, snow), calculate the load combinations per ACSE7, then have mathcad select the largest value. I have the load combinations calculated, each under its own variable (i.e...
