I have a single column that has a very small radius of 0.13". It is supported laterally through a 0.30" thick plate with a 0.30" diameter hole through it. The plate moves up and down over the column. I am considering making the plate structural and in the realm of 2.5" thick. The column moves...
I'd like to preface this post by saying that I am not a structural engineer and am new to these topics.

I am working on determining if I have any lateral torsional buckling in this beam. I can't really find any equations for this specific scenario so any help or pointers would be appreciated. It's a very thin and long metal beam that is getting loaded on each end with 5,000lbs. It is pressing into...
Hi,
I am working to develop a free body diagram of a column but running into some issues here specifically with the moments. I have a 1m long solid cylindrical column that has a fixed base, and goes through a set of plates with holes at 0.2 and 0.8m. There are two distributed forces action on...
I've been doing some research into lignin as a precursor for carbon fiber manufacturing. Lignin seems to be an almost entirely random "polymer" with billions of molecule combinations. There's been some work into trying to bring it to market in the 60's and 70's, but to my knowledge it is not...
I am working on a feasibility study for a high pressure horizontally oriented HIP (hot isostatic press) and need some help with the thought experiment and general design. This machine will need to have the following characteristics - Pressure: 15,000psi | Temp: 800°C | Length: 84in. | Diameter...
Howdy Everyone,
I am working on a feasibility study for a high pressure horizontally oriented autoclave, or HIP (hot isostatic press) and need some help with the thought experiment and general design. This machine will need to have the following characteristics - Pressure: 15,000psi | Temp...
