hi all, i am having a problem understanding a basic concept, I have a length of pole on a hinged base in a horizontal position. the pole is approx 1m in the air. A pair of rams have the job of lifting the pole, they are pinned to the pole near the hinge and on to the floor on a base plate, so a...
the model consists of a pople approx 16m in length, with decreasing diameter cylinders, from approx 500mm to 300mm, 10mm wall thickness, meshed using default size tetra elements. A force is applied a short distance from the base of the horizontal pole, at an angle, say 60degrees to the...
i am currently analysing a pole which begins in a horizontal position, and is then liften by a ram to a vertical position, about a hinge. I am interested in the point stresses on the pole at the lifting equipment location. When i use a hinge restraint, the stresses on the pole are huge, in the...
