structures under load • Dead loads - Dead loads are loads that stay static or stationary‚ they will also not change during any normal operation of the buildings use. The dead weight from the structure will be a dead load‚ so for example the self-weight of a beam. • Imposed/live loads – imposed loads can also be known by dynamic loads. Imposed loads are live loadings which can be added to and also removed during the life of the building. Humans can be a good example of a imposed load; for example if you fill

ES180 : Technological Science 1 Strain Gauge Laboratory Report By Akash Sherchan Student I.D. #: 1124433 University of Warwick Summary The strain gauge laboratory session had a lot of aims and one of the main aims was to provide us with experience in using circuits based on operational amplifiers and examine the characteristics of these circuits when they amplify DC signals. Another aim was to also investigate the use and characteristics of resistive strain gauges. The overall objective

Let’s look at an example in manufacturing: Cutting tool in a lathe must be sufficiently stiff to avoid vibration and too-tip deflection. When we want to know whether the tool is good enough for a turning operation‚ we need to analyse its

concrete slab supported on a rectangular grid of beams. Such a grid of beams reduces the span of the slab and thus permits the designer to reduce the slab thickness. The distribution of floor loads on floor beams is based on the geometric configuration of the beams forming the grid. 1 3 Tributary area of columns A1‚ B2 and C1 shown shaded 2 Girders on all four sides Theoretical Tributary Areas 3 Theoretical Tributary Beam Areas 4 Theoretical Tributary Beam Areas

can be found in Figure 6.1. 1. Charges are placed on the spherical conductors with a high voltage power supply. 2. Due to the presence of the charge‚ a force is induced between the two spheres. 3. The force (F) between the spheres will produce a deflection () of the sphere attached to the torsion fiber. These two quantities are related in the following way‚ F = k Equation 6.2 Where k is the torsion constant of the fiber‚ it is not the coulomb constant (which we call k1 ) TA or TI Signature ___________________________________

The design and modeling of microscale electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) is a unique engineering discipline. At small length scales‚ the design of resonators‚ gyroscopes‚ accelerometers‚ and actuators must consider the effects of several physical phenomena. MEMS devices and sensors may even utilize multiphysics phenomena for its very function or for increased sensitivity. To this end‚ the MEMS Module provides user interfaces for electromagnetic-structure‚ thermal-structure‚ or fluid-structure interactions

The history of structural engineering dates back to at least 2700 BC when the step pyramid for Pharaoh Djoser was built by Imhotep‚ the first engineer in history known by name. Pyramids were the most common major structures built by ancient civilizations because it is a structural form which is inherently stable and can be almost infinitely scaled (as opposed to most other structural forms‚ which cannot be linearly increased in size in proportion to increased loads).[1] Throughout ancient and

The stress-strain diagram is generally accepted as the plotted results of a tensile test completed under carefully controlled conditions on a speciman of a metal. The stress-strain diagram important for design engineers in that it establishes the physical properties of the material under test including the yield strength‚ the ultimate strength‚ the elongation at fracture‚ the elastic limit etc. Ductile materials‚ which includes structural steel‚ as well as many alloys of other metals‚ are characterized
