Hi,
I never had hydraulics and pneumatics related subject at my university so I decided to learn a bit in this field on my own. I started from learning how to read schematics of fluid power systems. And there's one thing that bothers me now - the way that type of operation and centering should...
Hi,
many people advise to do hand calculations in order to verify FEA results at least approximately. Some even say that they always do these hand calculations. However, I Wonder how it is possible to do such calculations. I know that in static solid mechanics constructions can be simplified to...
Hi,
Looking for any good English book about mechanisms. He said that he had one but can't remember its title. It was something like "Mechanism Design" but I'm not sure. The book has some practical examples of mechanism design. Its distinguishing feature is that it contains an example showing...
Hi,
I would like to learn how to calculate impact force for use as a static load in FEA simulation. Let’s say you model car crash or some falling object impact and don’t want to use explicit dynamics analysis in which objects will actually crash. I’ve found some examples of such calculations in...
Hi,
I would like to ask when contact should be defined in structural mechanics analyses ? Could you explain it as for a beginner ?
I've heard that every assembly model needs contacts applied but I think that it is possible to avoid them in many cases. I understand that when contact between 2...
