  2. Sheet metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal

    In most of the world, sheet metal thickness is consistently specified in millimeters. In the U.S., the thickness of sheet metal is commonly specified by a traditional, non-linear measure known as its gauge. The larger the gauge number, the thinner the metal. Commonly used steel sheet metal ranges from 30 gauge to about 7 gauge.

  3. Flitch beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flitch_beam

    The method for calculating the size of a flitch beam to be used in construction is straightforward, using the transformed-section method. The steel plate is treated as an equally stiff piece of wood, with its width modified by the ratio of their moduli of elasticity. This allows the deflection of the entire beam to be calculated as if it were ...

  4. Plate (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_(structure)

    A plate is a structural element which is characterized by a three-dimensional solid whose thickness is very small when compared with other dimensions. [ 1 ] The effects of the loads that are expected to be applied on it only generate stresses whose resultants are, in practical terms, exclusively normal to the element's thickness.

  5. Surface plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_plate

    A 250 mm x 250 mm surface plate. A surface plate is a solid, flat plate used as the main horizontal reference plane for precision inspection, marking out (layout), and tooling setup. [1]

  6. Gusset plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gusset_plate

    Gusset plates can be made into a variety of shapes and sizes and from a range of materials. Gusset plates are usually square or rectangular, but can be triangular or made into a customized shape to fit the joint. The shape of each plate is designed so that welding or bolts can be applied to different edges of the plate. [2]

  7. Plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_theory

    The typical thickness to width ratio of a plate structure is less than 0.1. [citation needed] A plate theory takes advantage of this disparity in length scale to reduce the full three-dimensional solid mechanics problem to a two-dimensional problem. The aim of plate theory is to calculate the deformation and stresses in a plate subjected to loads.

  8. Dump truck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dump_truck

    Now the most common U-shaped dump is to use high-strength plates. Under the premise of ensuring the strength of the car body, the thickness of the plate is reduced by about 20%, and the self-weight of the car is reduced by about 1 ton, which effectively improves the utilization factor of the load mass. 3. Strong carrying capacity.

  9. Material selection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_selection

    Material selection is a step in the process of designing any physical object. In the context of product design, the main goal of material selection is to minimize cost while meeting product performance goals. [1] Systematic selection of the best material for a given application begins with properties and costs of
