    I beam calculation

    Hi all, Thanks for the reply. First thing first, the beam i sketch is just a simplification of the real structure. the structure is designed with all the crossmember etc. but my main concern is will the main chassis (i-beam) be able to support the load. Hi rb1957, as for the manual...

    I beam calculation

    hi desertfox, i've attached a simple sketch of the beam. the beam will be fixed at the kingpin (1494mm from front) and at the axle center (9537mm from front). the beam web material is 4mm thick Weldox 700 and 10mm thick Weldox 700 top and bottom flange with width of 180mm. Regards...

    I beam calculation

    hi desertfox, thanks for the reply. the link provided does not include any overhanging beam. the beam i'm trying to design in considered overhanging with the fixture at the kingpin and at the center of the axle. Regards, AFK

    I beam calculation

    Hi all, I am working on a flatbed trailer chassis design. Would anyone care to explain on how to manually calculate maximum stress in the beam under certain load? Also, i did few simulation and it didn;t convince me at all. Is there any way to estimate or at least confirm whether the beam can...

    Static Calculation of Guardrails

    Hi desertfox The cylinder will retract to move the guard rail back to 0 degree position. As for the connection, sorry i forgot to mention that the top horizontal bar is also being pivoted to the vertical bar. the way i pivot it is by bolted the horizontal and vertical bar trough a sleeves that...

    Static Calculation of Guardrails

    Hi JStephen, Thanks for the reply. For this case, I already look into the energy methods, but to simplify the calculation, I've decided to not use it since the acceleration does not give much impact. What i am looking for is the force required to rotate it. Meaning that the force required to...

    Static Calculation of Guardrails

    Hi everyone, I've been tasked to calculate the force required to push a set of guardrails using a pneumatic cylinder. The objective is to reduce the weight of the guardrails and hence, reducing the force resulting lower force required to rotate the pole of the guardrail from zero degree to 90...

    Vapor Recovery Piping

    LittleInch Thanks for replying but i find that your answer is really not matured at all. As an engineer, you should at least have some info on what you're going to talk instead of just give some random answer, and if you don't fully understand, don't be so arrogant. As for the drawing, you...
