Any Questions?
Example
how long will a conveyor belt last?
Stress
Stress = Akyuzlu's Thermo Lab
Stress = F/A
S-N Curve
Question (Cellphone use OK)
S-N Curve for Alloy Ahoy
Stress N
10,000 300
8,000 720
5,000 50,000
- If the Alloy Ahoy sees 8000 Psi of Stress on tension every cycle of operation, and each operation takes 1 hour, how may days will the Alloy Ahoy be operational before it fails?
Easy Use Case
A Module is pulled in the lab repetitively at a load that results in 8000 Psi. How many cycles will it last?
If 1 cycles takes 1 hour, how long will the belt last before it breaks?
Intermediate Complication
A belt is put in the field, and pulls 100 lbs of CHICKEN. The resulting stress (using FEA) comes out to be 8000 Psi. How long will the belt last?
If the belt runs for 8 hours every day, how many days will the belt last before you have to replace it?
Advanced
A Belt running in a coke plant is used to
- Coke Can (16 ounces)
- Pepsi (20 ounces)
- Jumbo Coke (24 ounces
Coke - 5,000 Psi, Pepsi - 8,000 Psi, Jumbo - 10,000 Psi
Each run for 8 hours every day
Real Life
A Belt running in a coke plant is used to
- Coke Can (16 ounces)
- Pepsi (20 ounces)
- Jumbo Coke (24 ounces
Coke - 5,000 Psi, Pepsi - 8,000 Psi, Jumbo - 10,000 Psi
10,000 12-packs of coke, 80,000 boxes of Jumbo, and 50,000 12-packs of Pepsi
1 Hour startup time every day, 2 - 8 hour shifts, and off in the weekends.
