Moment of Inertia is a very useful term for mechanical engineering and piping stress analysis. It represents the rotational inertia of an object. The moment of inertia signifies how difficult is to...

The guided Cantilever method is one of the approximate methods for piping flexibility checking. This method is widely used by piping designers to check the approximate flexibility of simple piping...

What is Poisson's Ratio?Poisson's ratio of a material is a very important parameter in material science and engineering mechanics. When a force is applied to a bar it deforms (elongates or...

Time history analysis is quite popular in stress analysis as it provides the most realistic specification of dynamic loads in CAESAR II. The program’s modal time history analysis can simulate...

The factor of safety or safety factor is a very important term in engineering design. While designing any Engineering product or component, safety is of utmost importance. To ensure the safety of...

The concept of a free-body diagram is widely used in engineering and physics. A free-body diagram is a force diagram (a graphic, dematerialized, symbolic representation) that shows the relative...
