I know what you mean! Thanks for your advice. I will have to revisit the boundary conditions, as the points 3,4 are actually bolted onto a structure which is free to move in the z direction. Sorry if my response sounds vague or unclear as the requirements for this test aren't clearly defined, so...
is this a D-nose ?
No it's a test structure, can't give more details due to NDA and IP.
are points 3 and 4 fixed or pinned ? is point 4 fully pinned, of is it reacting axial (y-direction) loads ?
The points are actually bolted onto another piece of structure which is free to move in the z...
Many thanks for your response.
No forces acting at points 3 and 4 (it's fixed at these locations so will only see reaction loads).
The structure is metal (aluminum) to be more precise, so will have high structural rigidity.
Dear fellow engineers,
I hope everyone is keeping well and safe. I was recently looking at damage on a carbon core structure where the damage seems to be quite severe and would most likely lie outside of the SRM. Can you suggest a good reference or guide, which shares examples of failures of...
Hello all,
I hope that all my fellow engineers are keeping well and safe. I was looking to get some advice from well-seasoned aircraft stress engineers on this forum.
I have recently come across a problem where I have loads defined for points 1,2 and combined moments at the location where the...
