This article is a second article on the Weibull Law which explains how to use Python to calculate the law’s parameters. If you didn’t read the first article, you can read it here 1 How to determine the parameters of the Law If we start from the Weibull Probability that we determined previously: After a […]
How to use Weibull Law to identify a better rupture criterion for Brittle Materials? (Part 1)
Today, Let’s talk about some basics of ductile and brittle materials… and how you can find an appropriate failure criteria for brittle materials with defects! I registered an audio file to make it more easy to understand, I hope this subject will interest you! 1 Rupture criterions for ductile and brittle materials Usually, when we […]
Safety factor: How do I calculate that?
This article talks explains the concept of safety factor and how it is calculated. It’s a fundamental notion that every mechanical engineer have to understand well. How do I know if the design of my part is « safe » enough? That’s a difficult question that many designers asked themselves. One of the potential answers involves the […]
What is stress? Explanation with images
Stress Let’s start with something simple. Let’s visualize a pressure applied on an object. The pressure is causing a certain deformation to your object. After I applied the pressure, what is happening inside the object? Let’s assume the object is composed of a lot of smaller cubes. What is actually happening to one of the small […]
