Moon Machines in the US and UK is a Science Channel HD documentary miniseries co

nsisting of six episodes documenting the engineering challenges of the Apollo Pr

ogram to land a man on the Moon. It covers everything from the iconic Saturn V t
o the Command Module, the Lunar Module, the Space Suits, the Guidance and Contro
l Computer, and the Lunar Rover. It was created by the team who made In the Shad
ow of the Moon in association with NASA to commemorate the agency's fiftieth ann
iversary in 2008. It first aired in June 2008 and was released on DVD a year lat
er in June 2009.[1]

Overview[edit]
The miniseries features interviews with around 70 of the 400,000 engineers who r
eportedly worked on the Apollo program during the 1960s and early 70s. These int
erviews are intercut with archive film, sourced by Footagevault from NASA's vari
ous film archives stored at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, the Glen
n Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio and from the National Archive in Washington
.
The miniseries is narrated by actor Bill Hope.
Music[edit]
The score was composed by Philip Sheppard.
Episodes[edit]
Part 1: The Saturn V Rocket[edit]
The first episode of the series documents the creation of the iconic Saturn V ro
cket.
Part 2: The Command Module[edit]
The second episode is centered on the construction of the Apollo Command Module
and the setback of the Apollo 1 fire.
Part 3: The Navigation Computer[edit]
The third episode details the story of MIT's work on the Apollo Guidance Compute
r.
Part 4: The Lunar Module[edit]
The fourth episode features the Grumman project to build mankind's first true sp
acecraft - the Lunar Module.
Part 5: The Space Suit[edit]
The penultimate episode focuses on the teams that created the remarkable Apollo
pressure suit.
Part 6: The Lunar Rover[edit]
The series' final episode centers on the design and perfection of the novel Luna
r Roving Vehicle carried to the Moon on the Apollo J-class missions.

Torsion in Structural Design
1. Introduction
1.1. Problems in Torsion
The role of torsion in structural design is subtle, and
complex. Some torsional phenomena include
(a) Twist of beams under loads not passing through the
shear center

(b) Torsion of shafts

(c) Torsional buckling of columns
(d) Lateral torsional buckling of beams
Two main types of situation involve consideration of
torsion in design
(1) Member's main function is the transmission of a
primary torque, or a primary torque combined with
bending or axial load (Cases (a) and (b) above.)
(2) Members in which torsion is a secondary
undesirable side effect tending to cause excessive
deformation or premature failure. (Cases (c) and
(d) above.)

1.2. Development of Torsional analysis- A few key
contributors
1853 - French engineer Adhemar Jean Barre de
Saint-Venant presented the classical torsion theory
to the French Academy of Science
1899 - A. Michell and L. Prandtl presented results
on flexural-torsional buckling
1905 - S. P. Timoshenko presented a paper on the
effects of warping torsion in I beams
1909 - C. Bach noted the existence of warping
stresses not predicted by classical torsion theory
when the shear center and centroid do not coincide.
1929 - H. Wagner began to develop a general
theory of flexural torsional buckling
V. Z. Vlasov (1906-1958) developed the theory of
general bending and twisting of thin walled beams
1944 - von Karman and Christensen developed a
theory for closed sections (approximate theory)
1954 - Benscoter developed a more accurate
theory for closed sections.
Numerous other contributors, these are just a few
highlights.

2. Uniform Torsion of Prismatic Sections
Consider a prismatic shaft under constant twisting moment
along its length.
Classical theory due to St Venant. Assume
Cross-sections do not distort in plane during twisting, so
every point in the section rotates (in plane) through
angle f(x) about the center of twist.
Out of plane warping is not constrained
Out of plane warping does not vary along the bar
The resulting displacement field is

Revised symbols for width, height and slenderness ratio for HSS
B = nominal width
b = flat wall width
b / tdes = width-to-thickness ratio
Ht = nominal height
h = flat wall height
h / tdes = height-to-thickness ratio

AISC Shapes Database Version 14.1H

Version 14.1H (V14.1H) contains historic dimensions and section properties for s
hapes produced from 1873
2005. It does not contain current shape properties for
use in the design of structural steel for new construction. See AISC Shapes D
atabase V14.1 for this information.
Properties in V14.1H are taken from:

Directions for Reading AISC Shapes Database Version 14.1 (14th Edition Steel Con
struction Manual Dimensions and Section Properties only)
Dimensions and properties for each shape are listed sequentially in a single row
. The data in each column is as follows (the corresponding columns representing
equivalent metric properties are listed in parentheses).
Column A
Type
the shape type, e.g., W, C, L, etc.
Column B (CB)
EDI_Std_Nomenclature
the shape designation according to
the
AISC Naming Convention for Structural Steel Products for Use in
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), June 25, 2001. This information
is intended solely for the use of software developers to facilitate the
electronic labeling of shape-specific data and electronic transfer of
that data.
Column C (CC) AISC_Manual_Label
the shape designation as seen in the AISC
Steel Construction Manual, 14th Edition. The exception to this
is the designation for double angles. There is a separate listing
(row) for each back-to-back spacing and configuration. Therefore, the
shape designation reflects these two variables. The listings for
double angles follow the convention specified in the AISC Naming
Convention for Structural Steel Products for Use in Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI), June 25, 2001.
