Energy vs Power

ByAnthony February 20, 2024April 4, 2024

What’s the difference between energy vs power? In the realm of physics and engineering, the concepts of energy and power are fundamental but often misunderstood. While they are closely related, they represent distinct aspects of physical systems. Energy is the ability to do work, while power is the rate at which work is done or…

Determining Material based on Mechanical Properties

ByAnthony April 28, 2022October 29, 2022

Objective The object of the experiment is to determine the material of an unknown specimen based on the material young’s modulus(E). Young’s modulus is the ratio of the stress to strain in the plastic region of the stress-strain diagram. This mechanical property is material specific. The data which was gathered during this experiment is as…

Column and Panel Buckling

ByAnthony 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…
