Simple stress | Definition and application
Stress is required to design the structure. The safety of the structure is assured by this. We will discuss in this blog how we can measure the it in the
Combined shear and bending stress in the beam
We have seen in the previous articles how bending stress comes in the beam and how we can find the shear stress. While deriving the bending and shear stress we
Viscosity | Definition, application and implementation
Take three glasses and fill them with water, oil, and honey. Take the eraser from your table, drop it in the above three different glasses one by one, and note
How do we calculate the stress due to thermal variation?
Structures often experience significant temperature variations during their service life. These temperature changes can lead to the generation of stress within the structures. As engineers, it is our responsibility to
Unveiling the Mysteries of Poisson’s Ratio: How Materials Handle Pressure
When it comes to understanding how materials react under pressure, there’s a hidden superhero called Poisson’s Ratio. It’s a fascinating concept that sheds light on how things change shape when
Design of tensile members
We have seen design examples to determine the tensile design strength for structural steel sections. Let us explore on how to design a tensile member and learn the simple design
Shear lag effect in the angle sections
In the previous articles, we have seen simple steps to calculate the tensile strength of flat plates for simple and staggered bolting using IS 800:2007. In this article, let’s explore
Maxwell’s relations: Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics is all about the behavior of systems and their related studies. The behavior of these systems is governed with the help of point functions that we call as fundamental
Designing doubly reinforced beam section: An example
To start the design of doubly reinforced beam you should have an idea about this type of section. As the name implies, in this type of beam section, we are
Isentropic process: Work done, Efficiency, Explanation
Isentropic processes are thermodynamic processes in which the entropy of a fluid remains constant. Real systems that typically use this process as an idealization include the turbine and compressor stages
