This course presents the fundamental principles of structural analysis, determination of reactions, internal forces and deflections under the static load conditions. The course is mainly focused to ...

Through the years, many fire departments have become totally dependent on preconnected hoselines. At one time when staffing was good, hoselines off the rear hosebed were the norm. As staffing levels ...

There are more than just a few different types of hose loads that are used on engine companies throughout the United States, and they all work. The problem is that they don’t all work for every ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. However, this relationship between stress and strain in a material is linear only when the force applied is within ...

The effects of static loads (e.g. lift and maneuvers) and dynamic loads (e.g. gust encounter and/or turbulence) are analyzed in aircraft design using models and assumptions. The validation of these ...

Custom-fabricated structural bearings are being introduced by Hercules Engineering for extremely high stress applications in structures requiring outstanding load-bearing performance, even in compact ...

Understanding the static, dynamic, and racking load capacities of wooden pallets is essential for safe, efficient material handling. While typical 48″x40″ stringer pallets support approximately 4,000 ...
