What I've used in the past was ESDU 75034. The caveat is that it is for square plates with central circular holes. However perhaps you can include conservatism to compensate?
Otherwise I would agree with Dougt115 your only other option is FEA
I figured out a way to trick Winbeam - Adjust 100% fixity moment reaction to 50% by manually imputing the adjusted moment reaction as an applied load.
Cheers!
Thanks for the input
Hello All,
I would like to get some recommendations from everyone for Software that does Partial Fixity for simple beam analysis.
Our Go-To software is WinBeam, which is obviously pretty much obsolete now.
Here is an example application,
Calculating Reaction on the Side to Body attachment of...
I figured, 3-D in my case will not work.
So in my case, the most representative drag co-efficient would be Cd = 2.30 from the 2-D column.
I just needed verification before I totally kill my analysis [dazed]
Hi all,
In Hoerner, page 3-17, there is a table for drag coefficients of "3-dimensional bodies" and "2-dimensional shapes (between walls)". My question is, why is it that 2-Dimensional shapes have significantly higher drag co-efficient.
Let's say I have a curved panel and it is loaded as shown...
