I passed. Congratulations to everybody who passed.

Eq. 58.4 defines Damping ratio. C is the damping coefficent and Cc is the critical damping. In this problem, since damping is half the critical damping, C equals half of Cc. Sustituting these values in Eq. 58.4 gives damping ratio as 0.5.

Please post the question in detail

Yeah. I meant WL^2/8.

For a uniformly distributed load on a simply supported beam, maximum Bending Moment occurs at the center of the beam where the shear force line crosses the centerline. The reactions on the supported ends are WL/2 each. The shear force diagram has two triangles with the diagonals passing thru...

It is the formula for Fatigue strength under fluctuating loads in Shigley's mechanical Engeneering Design.

1 in. = 0.025398797 m Applying Square root to both sides of the above equation, (Sq. rt 1) . (Sq. rt in.) = (Sq. rt 0.025398797) (Sq. rt m.) Calculated value, Sq. rt 0.025398797 = 0.15937 and Sq. rt 1 = 1 Therefore 1. Sq. rt in. = 0.15937 Sq. rt m

What edition of Shilgey's did you get? Are the units english or metric?

What are the system of units in Mechanical Engineering Design by Joseph E. Shigley, Charles R. Michke and Richard G. Budynas, 7th edition .

Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design (Mcgraw-Hill Series in Mechanical Engineering) [Hardcover] Richard Budynas (Author), Keith Nisbett (Author) Is it this one?

What book did you use for preparation. Was it english or metric version of Shigley's?

What Book did you use for the deoth part?

what is the recommended unit system (Metric or English) to be used for Machine Design depth preparation. Shilgely's Mechanical Engineering Design I believe is in SI units.

First of all , congratulations on passing he exam. What is the exact name of Shigley's book and who is the author. Also ,Is the system of units SI or US in that book?

From what I read from the other posts, one of the books is in SI units and the other one is in US units. Does it matter. Could you please double check what book you used. I am still battling between these two books. Wonder if both units are specified int he exam. And also does it matter if the...
