Stress/strain of a body performing a translation

Submitted by ljpoposki on

Hello all,

I am having task to determine the strength analysis (stress/strain) of a translating machine part (body). The part is driven by a set of gears, placed on the top of the body. The input is a constant acceleration value to the propultion engine. Firstly I should do a 2D analysis with a retangle representing the machine part. 

I am new to this subject, so any idea, approach,  advice or helping material is welcomed. 

Thank you in advance!

Can you imagine a mechanical system that is stable without friction, but suffers a flutter instability when friction is 'added'?

Submitted by Davide Bigoni on

Have you ever seen a structure subject to flutter instability?

Can flutter instability be connected to dry friction?

We provide positive answers to the above questions, watch the video at
