What Actuators Are and How They Are Used in Modern Motion Systems

The post What Actuators Are and How They Are Used in Modern Motion Systems appeared first on UK Construction Blog. Ask a mechanical engineer what an actuator is and you’ll get a precise answer. Ask someone on a construction site and you might get a blank look, even though actuators are almost certainly operating somewhere on that site right now. They’re the kind of component that gets specified, installed, and then largely ignored because when […]

The Efficient Engineer - Understanding Plane Stress 08072019

This video looks at "plane stress", an assumption used in solid mechanics to simplify the analysis of a component by turning a 3D problem into a 2D one. For a plane stress condition to be applicable, all of the non-zero stress components should be acting in the same plane. This video looks at 3 examples of plane stress - a thin perforated plate, thin-walled pressure vessels, and thin gears. Plane stress is particularly relevant for thin components which are loaded in a single plane.
