Designing for Shock Resistance
If a product or structure is subject to shock loadings, and is unable to take them without unacceptable damage, it must be insulated from the shock. The decision may be to redesign the...

Stiffness Requirements for HDPE, Profile Wall Pipe
For the past two years the Gulf Oil Corporation has sponsored a research study on profile wall High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe at Texas A & M University. A pipe design computer...
Dynamic Stiffness and Damping of Foundations by Simple Methods
Continuum Modeling of Periodic Truss Structures
Procedures for deriving equivalent stiffnesses for an extended Timoshenko beam used to represent truss beams are presented. A typical substructure of a truss is used to calculate these...

Strength and Stiffness Characteristics of Steel Ladder-Type Cable Trays
Ladder-type cable trays identical with the as-built are generally tested to establish their strength and stiffness characteristics. Test data for systems in operating plants, however,...
Vibration Isolation of Cable Tray Hangers
Analytical and experimental investigations have been performed to partially evaluate the feasibility of using much more flexible support systems than those presently used to support electrical...
Performance of Low Stiffness Plastic Pipe in Stiff Soils
Large diameter pipe made from ductile plastics, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) can be effectively utilized in subsurface installations...
Importance of Pipe Soil Stiffness Ratio in Plastic Pipe Design
In this paper, the finite element method of analysis is used to study the effect of pipe-soil stiffness ratio on axial forces, bending moments, and deflection of pipes of varying stiffness....
