Young’s Modulus | Modulus of Elasticity | Elastic Modulus | Young’s Modulus of Steels
Young’s modulus, also known as the 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...
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 material's Stress and its Strain. Stress is plotted on the Y-Axis and Strain is plotted on the X-axis. This Stress and Strain curve provides the relation...
Overview of Lateral Buckling and Upheaval Buckling of Pipelines
Long pipelines are often subjected to lateral and upheaval buckling. Both upheaval and lateral buckling can induce excessive bending stresses in the pipeline that may lead to pipeline failure. In...
What is Response Spectrum? | Steps for Earthquake Response Spectrum Analysis
A response spectrum is a graphical plot of the frequency of an oscillator and its damping. The response spectrum plot represents the peak or steady-state response (velocity, displacement, or...
