Bookmark or Share- Kips to Foot Pounds - Structural engineering general discussionI have seen many posts on how to convert kips to foot pounds. None of the answers are correct. I finally found the answer and wanted to document it here. T = 0.0167 x P x D T = torque (foot-pounds) P = bolt tension in pounds( 1 kip = 1000 pounds ) D = bolt diameter in inches So to get the...
- Maximum Torsion in a Round Bar 1 - Eng-TipsImagine that the one end of the rod is fixed in a vice, and I'm applying torque with a 1 foot breaker bar, I want to calculate the max torque that the rod can withstand (I'm assuming this is fairly basic). The formula that I'm using is Tmax = (pi/16)*(USS)*(D^3) = (0.1963)(Tensile strength*0.75)*(0.5^3) = 2576.4 in-lbs = 214.7 ft-lbs. Is this ...
- Gr. 8.8 Bolt Strength - Structural engineering general discussionAn 8.8 bolt has an ultimate tensile strength of 80 Kg/mm2 (785N/mm2) and a yield strength of 80% x 80Kg/mm2 = 64 Kg/mm2 (628N/mm2)
- "C" channel beam loads - Structural engineering general ... - Eng-TipsBackground: Hobby welder trying to design a utility trailer, no engineering background. Problem: I'm trying to determine if a 3" steel (A36) "C" channel (4.1 lbs/ft) can support a 1500 lb. point load at the center of a 78" span. Here are my calculations: Shear force = 750...
- bore diameter in a 1/4-36 UNS-2A thread - Eng-TipsThe bolt gets torqued to 8 in-lbs, max. Assuming concentricity as defined in the earlier post, and assuming torque as stated, I'm not clear how close the bore can get to the minor thread diameter. If this were a bore in a 0.25 pin I know that 0.05 is the least I can get away with between OD and ID; but a bore in a 1/4-36 bolt is confusing since ...
