Hi there
Are anyone familiar with tables of stress concentration factors, or the like for short beams for different span/depth ratios.
My beam is technically not a beam, but I would still like to estimate maximum bending stresses related to normal stresses caused by bending moment (sigma =...
I've been talking to a guy who doesn't know anything about sets, and I couldn't think of anything good to recommend that he should read. I know that there are lots of good books about set theory, but don't they all cover too many details so that it takes too long to get an overview of the...

Hi,
What does rated output in a transformer signify?

In short circuit test, we apply reduced voltage to HV winding so as to circulate rated current in HV. This will cause rated current to flow in LV. But as per definiton of rated current...
When a short circuit occurs, why won't the light bulb light up as well? Since the short circuit and the main branch where the lightbulb is are connected in parallel so won't the two have equal voltages and hence the bulb will light up (P=V^2/R)? Some people told me that its because the...
