The Loads and Design department deals with issues that arise in the design of aircraft with regard to aeroelastic properties and aeroelastic requirements. Furthermore, developments in the topic of ...
Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...
Realistic conceptual design loads in the early phase of the overall aircraft design for the mass estimation of fuselage and wing play an important role in the overall aircraft assessment for new ...
The National Institute of Standards and Technology started working toward its goal of a wind-load standard for tornado-resistant design after a tornado devastated Joplin, Mo., on May 22, 2011. A ...
Several significant updates have been added to the new edition of Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, Standards ASCE/SEI 7-16. The recently released ...
Providing modern electronic devices with a diet of healthy power is not straightforward. Small AC-connected equipment often uses a capacitor-input filter following a half- or full-wave rectifier.
This constant resistance dummy load has not yet been tested in the real world. [YS] was inspired to come up with the circuit after reading Wednesday’s Re:load dummy load post. That was a constant ...
Driving capacitive loads at speed is difficult. The fundamental reason for this is that the current charging due to the voltage change is limited only by the equivalent series resistance (ESR), which ...
