The reason why open beams can't handle torsion
This video investigates the stresses that arise in a beam element subjected to different types of loads. The focus is set on the torsional loads that cause twisting of the section resulting in the so called St. Venant Stresses. Furthermore the twisting gives rise to the warping action that induces large bending stresses in the beam flanges. The video concludes with an experiment of a 3D printed section subjected to eccentric and concentric loading.

    I don’t totally trust examples,especially that are made so differently from actual materials. For this to=o be more convincing, the beams should have been made in the solid. I know, of course, that it would use a lot more materials. But the fact that these are hollow meant the loading characteristics are much more complex. Additionally, the plastic has a different bending modality. Many plastics will crack, or break instead of bending as steel does, particularly A 36, used in most construction.

Because Mass & weight are separate functions linked by G where typically we would think of G as always being a value of 1, on Luna G is The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon is approximately 1.625 m/s2, about 16.6% that on Earth's surface or 0.166 ɡ. but I don't know how that works for figuring out how much load an I-beam load bearing capacity should be expected to change, ect. can you make some videos to help us understand how to begin thinking about the design of larger structures on Luna, & Mars when the supplies become available? thank you.

    Question: Why is an I shape better than say, an III shape? Would 3 'pillars' in the same total area be better? I can understand why its better than a solid beam in terms of weight/strength ratio and thus providing advantage in costing less and weighing less, but is all the removed material entirely redundant for integrity or is it just going past the point of diminishing returns?

    • @TheEngineeringHub
      @TheEngineeringHub 16 дней назад

      It is more difficult to produce due to the enclosed area and irregular shape. Also, if you divide the web of the single I into III (with equivalent area), you may get very thin and flimsy webs that are susceptible to local buckling

Always thought the older carpenters must be doing something better to make homes that seem soo weak by current codes to stand up to such extreme adversity. I often pull out 80 year old cast iron tubs whose finish is dulled but barely a sheen of rust on the underside.
