AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on designing a flap valve that operates on a horizontal axis using a lever-pneumatic cylinder mechanism, requiring a 90° operation for opening and closing. The load on the valve is approximately 5000N across a rectangular flap measuring 800x1092 sq. mm. Participants are seeking guidance on calculating the necessary force at the pneumatic cylinder piston rod end, possibly using a uniformly distributed load (UDL) condition. Additionally, there is a request for assistance in simulating the pneumatic piston cylinder and recommendations for simulation software. The conversation emphasizes the need for precise calculations and effective simulation tools in the design process.

Friends,

Right now I am designing a flap valve with is operating with the horizontal axis. By using lever-pneumatic cylinder mechanism, valve will open (vertical position) and close (horizontal position) with 90° operation. I this case, I need to calculate the required force at the pn. cylinder piston rod end. My load is around 5000N through out the rectangular flap 800x1092 sq. mm. How can i Handle this? Using UDL condition? Of ____

Freinds, I have to design and simmulate a pneumatic piston cylinder, and want to calculate force profile of piston with time. please help me in this regard, also please tell me any simmulation software simmulating pneumatic piston cylinder.
 

Thread '2:1 Pulley Question'

I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...

Thread 'Why do all my clocks run slow?'

Hi. I noticed that all electronic devices in my household that also tell time eventually lag behind, except the ones that get synchronized by radio signal or internet. Most of them are battery-powered, except my alarm clock (which runs slow as well). Why does none of them run too fast? Deliberate design (why)? Wrong temperature for quartz crystal? Decreasing battery voltage? Or just a coincidence?
