Beam

design project was conducted to construct a new wing beam design for the B-52 bomber and to compose an analysis of the new main wing spar. Given the information and the requirements that must be met with this design, our team went through the steps of the design process to come up with 3 concept variants. Of the 3 variants, we recommend to the Air Staff that the beam is to be made out of Steel SAE 4340 and configured into the T-beam shape in order to optimize each requirement for the wing beam design. The dimensions we found to optimize this design includes a length of 1257 inches, width of 26.01 inches, height of 34…

Beam bridges, are also known as girder bridges. They are one of the oldest and most common bridges. They are held up by river banks or piers at both ends. Box girders and trusses can help a beam bridge stay up and be stronger. Highways overpasses are normally beam bridges. The first person to build a beam bridge is not known. Although, the first beam bridges were built in ancient times. Some of the first beam bridges were built in Rome. Some of the most famous beam bridges are the Manchac Swamp…

The overall objective of this lab was to verify Bernoulli-Euler beam theory for the lip-loaded cantilever and use that to calculate the Poisson ratio for the material in this case 6061-T6 aluminum. This was done by having to different objectives for each part of the Lab. Part one was use electrical resistance strain gage, this was to measure the strain a cantilever beam as it undergoes a known deflection. We would then compare the measurements with that of the strains predicted by simple beam…

A beam bridge or known as a girder bridge, is a bridge structure that consists of horizontal beams spanning supported by pillar at each end of the deck. The weight of the beam including the structure itself, plus any load it carries are supported by the downward force into the pillars. The beam bridge works on the principles of compression and tension, where on top of the bridge bends, it undergoes compression and at the bottom it is subjected to a horizontal tension. Therefore, the bridge must…

acting on a material it acts as in equibrilium manner because one push in one direction and another push in opposite direction. The failure of material happens when it disobeys these equibrilium conditions by applying more than force in one direction. Materials under Bending: - The bending force is the force which bends the materials like columns, beams and slabs etc. in which the external loads like columns, beams and slabs etc. applied perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the material.…

load is placed onto the material is important as well, based on the tension and bending properties of the given material. Material Stiffness is the Young’s Modulus of a material, therefore the how much loads the material would resist before elastic deformation. For example: For the component stiffness of Timber, the Timber generally has more stiffness when it is placed on the ‘edge on’, since the deflection is smaller, usually of: 3mm at 1KN of load, this may be because this side of the timber…

construction, which reduced the cost (Ward, slides 3 and 5). The design (see Appendix 2, Page 2) was originally created to span across the widest section of river, about 12 in.s. The design optimization process (see Appendix 2, Page 3) revealed that the most optimum distance (traffic score) was 8.422415 in., would cost $137.5625 (see Appendix 2, Page 4), as well as earn a safety and aesthetic score of 0.043432 and 6.878127 respectively. These calculations were used to help redesign the best…

Figure 42. Similar to a beam simple supported, the very first requirement is that the structure bend sufficient to absorb the energy due to the weight, but has to withstand the weight under different loading scenarios. Figure 42: Body loading under a static scenario and its corresponding Shear and Moment diagrams. Utilizing beam simple analysis the Shear and Moment diagrams can be obtained. These diagrams are dependent on the location of the center of gravity (CG) of the subsystems. Those…

Bridges are used around the world to get over a bay of water. There are several different designs that could be used when building bridges such as arc, beam , cable-stayed, truss and suspension bridges. The Golden Gate Bridge is a very well known example of a suspension bridge. It is located in San Francisco, California. Construction began in 1933, in the midst of the Great Depression, and the bridge gave steady jobs to many people during this hard time. It was finished and opened in 1937,…

1.0 Introduction A wire is defined as a single, flexible strand or rod of metal which is typically cylindrically-shaped. The core applications of wire, both single- or multi-stranded wire, are to withstand or carry mechanical loads in construction sector, whereas in electrical and electronic field are used to transmit electricity and telecommunications signals. For examples, from view of construction, wires are either braided or fixated together to form a bundle of strands, namely…
