So I am designing some steel structure where exists a bolted joint
The "cylinder" (total 11 tons), is joint by 20 bolts (M22 10.9 grade bolts) to the "frame" or beams (S275 steel, HE 180M profiles).
The FEM simulation is predicting high Von Mises stress in the joints holes and the bolts...
Hello all,
I need to design an structure which is able to support a cylinder loaded with 10 tons of weight distributed around its external face
The current model is the one you can see in the pictures. A FEM analysis has been carried out using "Simscale" and this is the result.
I would...
Hello,
We are designing an steel curved structure with a rectangular opened section, please see images.
It needs to be able to be opened for maintenance purposes. So, the joining of the different sheets which form the curved beam have to be bolted.
My question is how big can be the hole, so...
Hello all
My name is Javier, I am a worker for Helmholtz Institut Mainz. We are building some steel support for a lead ring, and we want to simplify the model to a linear beam so we can calculate the stress.
The beam must be rectangular with a little open so some elements can get through...
