A hinge is a mechanical bearing that connects two solid objects, typically allowing only a limited angle of rotation between them. Two objects connected by an ideal hinge rotate relative to each other about a fixed axis of rotation: all other translations or rotations being prevented, and thus a hinge has one degree of freedom. Hinges may be made of flexible material or of moving components. In biology, many joints function as hinges like the elbow joint.
Hi,
I recently bought a folding bike and it turned out over time that its weak point is the main hinge where two bolts (vertically placed) are located.
I've had the lower bolt break twice during a ride, leaving a part of it stuck inside the hinge thread. It's clear that the forces applied were...
Many times I've seen that the moments in the free body diagram are not included for example for an hinge or fixed beam.
I asked the same question here...
Attempted creating equations for zeros of torque and components of forces in x and y as seen in picture. Got lost with having only variables and the d & 2L for the length of the beam. Not sure how to do the question with two points of contact between the beam and the sign. Is the center center...
Hi all. I'm designing a custom spare wheel carrier for my 4wd and currently seeking knowledge on which bearings to use, so I need to work out what force on the bearings will be when it's open (closed will be locked and fully supported!)

Hello!
I had a random question while playing around with a garbage can that I hoped y'all could help me walk through:

Pictured below are two hinged panels that can rotate upward to form an upside-down V. In position 1, the panels are lying flat. In position 2, the panels have folded together and the joined edge is raised up.
Normally, in order to actuate this hinging motion, one would need to manually lift the...

Can anyone confirm the claim on this site that n is greater or equal to 23 when Theta is 90 degrees and t is 3? My calculations indicate that the argument of arccosine in the numerator has to be very close to 1, but the numerator of the argument (k_laset+t) is 3.1 whereas the denominator...

Because Tsin60-15g is negative when resolving upwards, i would have thought this meant that the...
