Why does strength reduction factors are they smaller for columns than for beams?

because it is the supreme elemnt of the structure.and all the loads can bear it so that's y we take strength reduction factor is less engineer mudassir buitems quetta


Why consider only 3dB for bandwidth calculation?

3dB of gain rolloff is a linear reduction of gain by a factor of 2. That makes it a good reference point.


What is Q factor in cold pilgering?

In tube making by pilgering, it is possible to reduce wall thickness as well as diameter of the tube. Q factor is defined as the ratio of wall thickness reduction to diameter reduction. The value of Q can be adjusted in the manufacture of tubes by changing the conicity of the mandrel. In the case of zirconium, the single crystal is anisotropic being of hexagonal close packed structure. Poly crystalline zirconium is not anisotropic, but develops a preferred oreintation after cold work. Deformation takes place by prismatic slip and by twinning. When the Q factor is maintained high, that is, when wall thickness reduction is much more than diameter reduction, the crystals take radial positions in the wall thickenss of the tube. When the Q factor is low, the crystals take tangential positions In nuclear applications of zirconium, in the event of hydriding, the hydride forms perpendicular to the c axis of the hcp crystal. A high Q factor leads to tangential hydride platelet formation, which is acceptable. High Q factors are achieved in pilgering. A low Q factor leads to radial hydride platelets in the thickness of the tube and hence has deleterious effects. Low Q factors occur in drawing process. Hence for nuclear applications, high Q factors through pilgering are used. Balakrishna Palanki Ph.D

How do you calculate load factor of gear box?

K Factor Also called an Overhung Load Factor. A constant used to modify the overhung load rating of a gearbox based on the type of load applied on the shaft. Use the K factor either to increase the calculated overhung load, or to reduce the gearbox overhung load rating.
