Hi everyone,
I'm planning to use fixed castor flanged wheels (1st picture bellow). The wheel itself has two bearings inside the wheel (2nd picture bellow). The rated load capacity for wheel is 3 tons. For example if I'm gonna load wheel with force that is not symmetrical in a view of wheel...
Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding the S235JR and S355JR structural steels. I have noticed that when manufacturers evaluate structures' prices there are basically no difference in price between S235JR and S355JR steels. For this reason the question arises why to choose S235JR steel rather...
Hi guys,
I have a question regarding the design of stiffening plates/elements on sheet metal walls. During all kind of analysis of designed equipment that uses stiffening plates/elements I came across different solutions and I would like to better understand why those solutions may be used. As...
Hey everyone,
Recently I decided to learn and try to apply the GD&T & Tolerances in my designed products. For this reason I want to ask you guys, how did you started to learn those things? Perhaps you could share some insights from your experience where to start, what is important, in what way...
Hey everyone,
I have a fairly simple question, but just wanted to make sure that I'm not missing something out. There is a beam that on one end is supported by two roller supports, on another end there's applied a load. I'm wondering if the reaction force R2 gonna be R2=F, and the reaction...
Hey everyone,
Perhaps someone has the information regarding how to design tab and slot connection in steel structures (dimensions of the joint)? During a briefly research I wasn't able to find any general rules or guidelines of the design. If someone have any information about the tab and slot...
Hey everyone,
Currently I'm searching for best approach regarding the design of water cooled wall. I'm wondering maybe someone has encountered such structure/design? The main question for which I'm looking answer for is how to properly prepare design so that the inner and outer walls could be...
Hey everyone,
I'm facing a problem with non-linear analysis using shell elements. The software is Nastran in CAD (Autodesk Inventor Add-in).
I did a simple analysis of the lifting lug by using 3D solid elements (parabolic order) and bi-linear material (LGDISP is on). The model performed pretty...
Hey everyone,
Currently I'm designing a ram feeder. At the moment I'm trying to find a solution of using wheels or rollers for the ram feeder table design. The problem that I'm encountering is that ram feeder table sometimes potentially can reach up to 300 C degrees for up to 30 minutes. Most...
Hey everyone,
At the moment I'm designing steel hopper and a slide gate valve. During designing phase I struggle to estimate the loads to the walls of hopper and slide gate valve. The hopper will be loaded by pile of household waste. I tried to use the hydrostatic load but it seems to be too...
