the Science behind Suspension Bridge

the Science behind Suspension Bridge

The heart-wrenching bridge collapse tragedy in Gujarat on Sunday evening, has triggered an outpouring of grief across the country. 

In this article, we are just encountering some of the aspects of Suspension Bridge.

What are Suspension Bridge ?

A suspension bridge carries vertical loads through curved cables in tension. These loads are transferred both to the towers, which carry them by vertical compression to the ground, and to the anchorages, which must resist the inward and sometimes vertical pull of the cables. 

The suspension bridge can be viewed as an upside-down arch in tension with only the towers in compression. Because the deck is hung in the air, care must be taken to ensure that it does not move excessively under loading. The deck therefore must be either heavy or stiff or both.

Some of the longest Suspension Bridge:

Modern steel alloys are capable of much greater spans, and, since the late 20th century, a number of record-breaking suspension bridges have been built in Asia. 

●  Akashi Strait Bridge (1998) : 1,991 metres (6,530 feet) between the island Honshu and Shikoku in Japan. 

     In 2019 China completed the second and third longest suspension bridges in the world: 

●  Yangsigang Yangtze River Bridge : 1,700 metres (5,577 feet) in Wuhan (Hubei), 

● Nansha Bridge, spanning 1,688 metres (5,538 feet) in Dongguan.

Do you know, how transformers are cooled ??

Do you know, how transformers are cooled ??

Cooling of Transformer is the process by which heat generated in the transformer is dissipated or treated to the safe value. 

The major factor for the generation of heat in the transformer is the various losses like hysteresis, eddy current, iron, and copper loss.

The various coolants used for the cooling purpose of the transformer are air, synthetic oils, mineral oils, gas, water.

When the temperature of the transformer becomes higher as compared to the temperature of the surrounding air, thus by the process of natural convection, heated air is replaced by the cool air. This method is known as a self-cooled method. 

When the heat generated is cooled by the forced air circulation method with the help of fans and blowers, high velocity of air is forced on the core and the windings of the transformer. This method is known as Forced cooled method.

Why so many engineering graduates are unemployed?

Why so many engineering graduates are unemployed? 

This one is the hot question in the current scenario, when the numbers of engineering students are graduating each year. In this article, we encounter this question step by step..

1. Mismatch in interest : 

See, engineering is not the only successful career in today's time; there are plenty of career options. So, if you are not interested in any form of engineering, then it's not necessary that you have to choose engineering still. 

Secondly thing, you have an interest in any particular kind of engineering, but due to trend or societal pressure you are choosing another engineering option and completing this course with the half interest, then it will not go any where. 

See, Engineering is a 4 year course and it has 20+ core oriented subjects and untill you are not enjoying this journey, whether your marks are good or average, but you do not have the learning approach, it will not benefit at all.

2. Mismatch in Practical Approach : 

Engineering is a hard core practical thing but problem in most of the engineering college is that they focus on just theory and theory. Untill the theory is matched with the practical, what's the benefit is ?

See, for example you have learnt each and everything about the cycle, how it handle works, how brakes and paddle works,  parts of the cycle, etc but never saw in laboratory or in real world. In this case you have to cram all the theories in your mind just to write down in the examination.

3. Mismatch in Course Syllabus and Market requirements

  This whole 4 year journey change its path from start to end because the market is changing so rapidly. We have to clear our mind that we are not living in industrial age; now it's an information age. When you enter in the course, something is relevant in market and suppose you expertise in that skill but in the 4 year duration of course, gradually it becomes irrelevant and out of market and now something new is in trending. So we have to be fast paced with the changing market requirements as well as our course syllabus should be engaged the foundation subjects and trending topics or subjects.

Difference between Engineering and Technology

What is the difference between Engineering and Technology ??

      It's quite possible that you may confuse between Engineering and Technology that both are same or different. They are looking like the same thing but has a fine line difference. 

      Let's discuss on it --

Difference between Engineering and Technology 

 

      Engineering and Technology are two so related terms that some times it confuses.

They are closely related but not the same.

      Engineering can be defined as “the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematics and  science gained by study, experience, and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize economically the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind.”

     In a simpler tone we can say that Engineering is a kind of practical science where we utilise different kind of materials on basis of their properties, develop a process and try to obtain a product.

Computer Science (CS) or Information Technology (IT) !!! Which is better engineering stream ??

      Technology can be defined as “the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life, society and the environment.” 

      In a simpler tone we can say that Technology is a kind of process where we develop a kind of product based upon material properties, process complexities and economical aspects.

So in short,

• Engineering is the mind and effort into making something. 

•Technology is the result of application of this mind and effort.

So, at last finally we can say that, 

Available technology is used to engineer more advanced technology.
