Alright, I apologize again. I was misunderstanding the physical nature of what I was calculating. I had previously determined the force put on the arm due to the valve disc's rotation (due to a differential pressure). So what I needed to do was find the bending caused by the torque on the...
I apologize. I think I was having a hard time verbalizing what exactly it was I wanted to know. I will try again. Attached is a simplified diagram of my system. I have a massive beam attached at it's lower left hand corner to a pivot. The beam is held horizontal at time=0 and released...
As part of a valve analysis I am looking at a swinging disc arm. I have not done an analysis like this for a while so I am using a previous calc (not done by me) as a guide. The portion I am looking at right now considers the bending moment acting on the arm as a function of distance from the...
The problem is that the consumption rate is based on the pressure the ASM sees. The reason this is a problem is 1) there are actually two ASMs connected but one turns off after 4 seconds then starts again at 10, then turns off again at 14 and 2) because the pressure regulator needs to be set...
I am working with a system that starts with a tank of pressurized air, goes through some piping, a pressure reg valve, some more piping, a solenoid valve and then a turbine style air start motor. I am trying to analyze the system for a 20 second run time (the tank is pressurized to some...
