Spaghetti Bridge Abstract For this assignment our task was to build as a group a spaghetti bridge with the objective of carrying the most weight as possible using only spaghetti and hot glue‚ meeting the specifications. The bridges will be loaded until they fall. After testing to destruction‚ the bridges loading capacity was 14.4kg‚ with an initial mas of 0.840kg. This gave a weight to strength ratio of 17.1 putting the group at 4th/8th position in class. From this it was learned the

A FBD is a simplified representation of a PARTICLE or RIGID BODY that is isolated from its surroundings and on which all applied forces and reactions are shown. All forces acting on a particle original body must be considered‚ and equally important any force not

machine may depend on the deformations in the structure as well as the stresses induced under loading. Statics analyses alone are not sufficient. Considering structures as deformable allows determination of member forces and reactions which are statically indeterminate. Determination of the stress distribution within a member also requires consideration of deformations in the member. Chapter 2 is concerned with deformation of a structural member under axial loading. Later chapters will deal with torsional

Thermal stresses‚ Bars subjected to tension and Compression Compound bar: In certain application it is necessary to use a combination of elements or bars made from different materials‚ each material performing a different function. In over head electric cables or Transmission Lines for example it is often convenient to carry the current in a set of copper wires surrounding steel wires. The later being designed to support the weight of the cable over large spans. Such a combination of materials
