Column and Panel Buckling

ByEngineeringCheatSheet.com January 9, 2022February 16, 2024

Buckling is a physical occurrence observed in slender structures, such as columns, beams, rods or panel; when it undergoes bending due to applied loads, leading to eventual buckling. This phenomenon can result in the complete failure of the structure. Buckling occurs when the applied load surpasses the structure’s buckling load, which represents the maximum load…

How are leaf springs designed?

ByEngineeringCheatSheet.com September 26, 2022June 14, 2024

A leaf spring is a basic type of spring often used for suspension in vehicles. Originally known as a laminated or carriage spring, and sometimes called a semi-elliptical spring, elliptical spring, or cart spring, leaf springs are one of the oldest forms of vehicle suspension. A Leaf spring consists of one or more narrow, curved,…

Understanding Moment of Inertia

ByEngineeringCheatSheet.com August 14, 2024September 1, 2024

Physics often focuses on simplifying complex phenomena to better understand and predict the natural world. This art of idealization is a cornerstone of mechanics, where we frequently encounter the concept of a “particle” or “point mass.” Within this context, the moment of inertia plays a crucial role, particularly in rotational dynamics. In thermodynamic equilibrium, all…
