The Wind Load Shear Wall Calculator is a shear wall design calculator for the iPhone or iPod Touch. It is a tool for engineers, architects, and builders, as well as students to design shear walls to ...

The latest ASCE/SEI 7-22 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures standard contains some notable changes. “Structural engineers should be aware of significant ...

Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...

The power transistor must be chosen to provide fast response while also withstanding high power dissipation. Several electrical and thermal characteristics must be considered: 1. An array of N current ...

Switching power supply users used to be happy to get peak efficiencies near 90% at an operating point around 88% of full load. Today, peak efficiencies above 90% are achievable, and the challenge is ...

You use an active-load test circuit to ensure that a power supply for a microprocessor or for other digital loads supplies 100A transient currents. This active load can provide a dc load for a power ...

Load-board design is a critical part of any project that uses ATE to test integrated circuits. Load boards provide the interface between the ATE and the device under test (DUT). A properly designed ...

The global modern industry is a massive operation that works on a scale almost impossible to comprehend. At every stage, it ...
