Hooke’s Law: Statement, Equation, Graph, Applications, Limitations
What is Hooke's Law?Hooke's law is a principle of engineering mechanics and physics related to the properties of a material. There are basically two statements for Hooke's law; discovered by the...
ObjectiveTo explain why pipe stress-range calculations might not be correct if pipe support friction is not properly considered. The magnitude of the potential error in stress-range calculation...
Young’s modulus, also known as modulus of elasticity or elasticity modulus is named after the British physicist Thomas Young. This is a very useful parameter in material science. Young’s modulus...
The stress analysis methodology of air cooler piping is quite different from other types of heat exchangers. This is mainly due to its different construction and supporting arrangements. The...
Stress-Strain Curve is a graphical plot of a materials Stress and it's Strain. Stress is plotted on the Y-Axis and Strain is plotted on the X-axis. This Stress and Strain curve provides the relation...
