PhanthomJay said:The moment of inertia of the pipe depends upon its wall thickness and diameter. The larger the diameter, the smaller the required thickness. Once you determine I, you may have to choose amongst available sizes and strengths, with economics also in mind, amongst other considerations.
that equation is correct for the moment of inertia, but you have two unknowns, the outside and inside diameters, so you can't solve for either without assuming one of the variables or choosing the lowest weight available tube that will support the load.Mechanical-909 said:Okay thank you. Guess my question is that, is possible from the equation: PI/64*(Od^4 - Id^4) Od being outside Diameter and Id being the inside diameter.
The concept of "Thickness from Moment of Inertia" refers to the relationship between an object's thickness and its moment of inertia, which is a measure of its resistance to rotational motion. It is used to determine the distribution of mass within an object and how this affects its rotational behavior.
"Thickness from Moment of Inertia" is calculated by dividing the moment of inertia of an object by its density and cross-sectional area. This gives a measure of the object's thickness, which can then be used to analyze its rotational behavior.
In engineering, "Thickness from Moment of Inertia" is important for designing and analyzing structures and machines that undergo rotational motion. It helps engineers determine the amount and distribution of material needed to achieve the desired stiffness and strength in a rotating object.
The thickness of an object, as determined by its moment of inertia, can greatly impact its stability. A higher moment of inertia, and therefore a greater thickness, means that an object will be more resistant to changes in its rotational motion. This can increase the stability of the object and prevent it from tipping or wobbling.
Yes, the thickness of an object can be adjusted or controlled by changing its shape, size, or material composition. By altering the moment of inertia, engineers can manipulate the rotational behavior and stability of an object to suit their design needs.
