Closed Coiled helical springs

Springs are energy absorbing units whose function is to store energy and to restore it slowly or rapidly depending on the particular application. A spring may be defined as an elastic member whose primary function is to deflect or distort under the action of applied load; it recovers its original shape when load is released. Helical spring:  They are made of wire coiled into a helical form, the load being applied along the axis of the helix. In these type of springs the major stresses is torsional shear stress due to twisting. They are both used in tension and compression. Derivation of the Formula : I n order to derive a formula which governs the deflection and stress of closed coil helical springs, consider a closed coiled spring subjected to an axial load W. with the fallowing Assumptions: 1. The Bending and shear Force effects may be neglect 2. For the purpose of derivation of formula, the helix angle is considered to be so small that it may be neglected.

Combined effect of bending and torsion

IIf a body is subjected to Shear Force, Bending moment and Twisting moments, then the combined stress in the shaft will be calculated by using of principle of superposition. 1.Shear stress due to direct shear: The average Shear Stress due to direct shear force q = F/A Where F= Shear Force at the section A= Area of the cross section,  But the shear stress distribution in the section will get by using the equaction qd = FQ/Ib Where Q= Ay Where, A = Area between the extreme face of beam and the plane at which the shear stress is q y = Distance of the centroid of area from N.A F = Shear force at the cross-section. I = Moment of Inertia of the beam cross section about N.A. b = Width of the fiber at the plane at which shear stress is q 2.Shear stress due to Torsion: For solid or hollow shafts of uniform circular cross-section and constant wall thickness, the torsion relations are: where: R is the outer radius of the shaft. τ is the maximum

Compute the proper diameter if G = 83 GPa. (diameter d = 352 mm answer) 5.Determine the maximum torque that can be applied to a hollow circ

Shear centre

The Shear centre is a point where a shear force can act without producing any twist in the section. At  Shear centre of a section the applied force is balanced by the set of shear forces obtained by summing the shear stresses over the section. Shear centre is also known as the centre of twist. When the load does not act through the shear center, in addition to bending, a twisting moment will develop  in the section.  The location of the shear center is independent of the direction and magnitude of the transverse forces. In unsymmetrical sections and in particular angle and channel sections, the summation of the Shear Stresses in each leg gives a set of Forces which must be in equilibrium with the applied Shearing Force. (a) Consider the angle section which is bending about a principal axis and with a Shearing Force F at right angle to this axis. The sum of the Shear Stresses produces a force in the direction of each leg as shown above. It is clear that their resultant passes through t

Engineering Mechanics -system of Forces

Engineering mechanics or Applied mechanics is  a branch of the physical sciences and the practical application of mechanics.  Much of modern engineering mechanics is based on Isaac Newton's laws of motion while the modern practice of their application can be traced back to Stephen Timoshenko, who is said to be the father of modern engineering mechanics.    Engineering Mechanics is divided into two parts Statics and Dynamics. Statics: It is a branch of mechanics which studies the effects and distribution of forces of rigid bodies which are and remain at rest. In this area of mechanics, the body in which forces are acting is assumed to be rigid .  The deformation of the body is treated in Mechanics in the name of Solid Mechanics or Strength of Materials. Force - It may be defined as any action that tends to change the state of rest of a body to which it is applied.  Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws that form the basis for classical mechanics.  Newton's

Thin - walled pressure vessels

A tank or pipe carrying a fluid or gas under a pressure is subjected to tensile forces, which resist bursting, developed across longitudinal and transverse sections. If the thickness of the wall of the cylindrical vessel is less than 1/15 to 1/20 of its internal diameter,the cylindrical vessel is known as Thin Cylinder.  Tangential Stress (Circumferential Stress) or Hoop stress Consider the tank shown being subjected to an internal pressure p. The length of the tank is L and the wall thickness is t . Considering the right half of the tank:  The forces acting on this right half of the vessel are the total pressures F caused by the internal pressure p, and the total tension T in the walls. The projected area subjected to internal pressure = A = DL F = pxA = p.DL The tangential stress in the walls =  s t T =    s t  A wall =  s t .  tL But F = 2T  p.DL  = 2( s t .  tL)  The tangential stress  s t = pD/2t If there exist an external pressure po and an internal pressure pi, the the Tangent

Bending stresses in unsymmetrical sections

In case of unsymmetrical sections, neutral axis will not pass through the geometrical centre of the section. In unsymmetrical beam sections the distance of  outermost layers i.e. for topmost layer and bottom layer of the section from neutral axis will not be same. In order to calculate the bending stress for unsymmetrical sections, we must have to find the value of centre of gravity (centroid) of the given unsymmetrical section. In order to calculate the maximum bending stress for unsymmetrical sections, we will use the bigger value of y. In this section, the following notation will be use:  fbt = flexure stress of fiber in tension fbc = flexure stress of fiber in compression N.A. = neutral axis I = Moment of Inertia about N.A yt = distance of fiber in tension from N.A. yc = distance of fiber in compression from N.A. M = resisting moment Mc = resisting moment in compression Mt = resisting moment in tension  Max.flexure stress in tension  f bt = (M/I).y t Max.flexure stress in compress

Vaastu – It's Relevance Today

"Believe nothing, merely because you have been told it or because it is traditional or because you yourself have imagined it" - Buddha . I n recent times there has been a sudden upsurge of interest in Vaastu. People are spending a lot of money and efforts in the name of Vaastu. Now it is a universal affair throughout the country. We must examine the relevance of traditional vaastu for present day structures. Vaastu is derived from the Sanskrit root “Vas” which means to dwell. Vaastu is hence a dwelling, the scope of which extends from a house to a house plot, a hamlet, a village, a town, a city etc.; it also represents the quality and strength of materials which are generally used in the construction of buildings.   Vaastu Shastra is basically a science of planning and construction of houses and other public buildings. It is developed by several ancient scholars and sages at various places in different times for orderly growth of settlements. The original principles have
