The word "nominal" has a number of definitions. For example, the Free Dictionary gives seven: nom·i·nal (nm-nl) adj. a. Of, resembling, relating to, or consisting of a name or names. b.
Has "nominal" really become a synonym for "minimal"? I thought "nominal" meant "in name only," but it appears that the definition has evolved. What say the members of this esteemed group?
Hello everyone, I'm trying to obtain the strains from a model. I request the "E" variable into the .INP in order to do so but what I found into the ODB is the "LE" (logarithmic strain). Does anyone knows why? Is there anyway to change between them mathematically?
"Nominal" is another question. Perhaps there is some tolerance for larger than normal aggregate that's not predominant in the size distribution. Question i) Do 25.2.1 and 25.2.2 apply independently? the second one is spacing between layers of rebar, I'd expect that the bar spacing needs to work for the max aggregate size on both layers.
I think the nominal moment formula I quoted is indeed for Load Factor (Ultimate Strength) Design. That would be consistent with the remainder of the main body of ACI 318 (Since ASD is an alternate design method in the appendix). In that case you would apply the load factors you mentioned.
Dear All, I'm an ealry graduated Mechanical Engineer and In my company I'm working on Design of static equipments as P.Vessel,Tank and Heat Exhangers. Concerning to Pressure Vessel, I would like to know, if I have a Working Capacity of 13m^3, which one could be a Nominal Capacity that could...
The correct procedure is obviously: -take the nominal pipe thickness less undertolerance to obtain the minimum wall thickness in the new condition -withdraw the corrosion allowance to get the actual minimum available pipe thickness -compare the latter to the required wall thickness. If you reverse this procedure, you'll see that it corresponds to your procedure number 1, so I confirm what ...
I have also put the nominal and ASD PRESSURES on the design document, and I agree that helps clarify when a jurisdiction recently adopts the new wind speeds, but I stand by the fact that the Vasd provides no realistic benefit. Section 1603.1 directs you to go to 1609.3. Juston Fluckey, SE, PE, AWS CWI Engineering Consultant
Also, as nominal means supposed, so-called, token, insignificant, assumed, considered, expected, try looking up opposites of these in a thesaurus. I just used the 1 in my word processer.
As per API 650,Clause 5.6.1.1 the 8 mm minimum thickness is mentioned with a word 'nominal thickness', If we refer Clause 3.21 it is mentioned that the Nominal thickness is the ordered thickness which includes any corrosion.
