Live Webinar: Reducing Engineering Error and Design Disruptions- Exploring Calculation Software Tools
Tomorrow is the first official day of Spring. I know a lot of people (at least in Massachusetts) are looking forward to warmer weather with no snow, the option of outdoor and rooftop dining in Boston, the opening of Fenway Park, and the increasingly present signs of the new season with budding flowers and chirping birds. There is one more …
Frisbee Physics: A look at PTC Mathcad Express and PTC Mathcad
I just love problems that can be solved more than one way. After two PTC Mathcad worksheets modeling frisbee flight (see recent blog), I wanted to solve the same problem in PTC Mathcad Express. The ‘Express’ version is free and understandably comes with limitations. Specifically, it does not support Programming nor Solve Blocks – the two features used to solve …

Frisbee Physics: Java vs. PTC Mathcad
In a paper, V.R. Morrison discusses an interesting model of a frisbee. The author derives the equations governing the position (x, y), velocity (x’, y’) and acceleration (x’’, y’’) of a frisbee as: CD(α) is a drag coefficient at angle of attack (AoA) α, and CL(α) is the lift coefficient at AoA α, area and mass are, you guessed, the …

Temperature Units
Simple units conversion Unit conversion are simple (in most cases): Converting a quantity, say length, from one unit (e.g. inches) to another (e.g. meters) involves multiplying the quantity by a factor (namely 0.0254). This is very convenient because the following calculations can be done without any ambiguity: Why am I even writing about this? This stuff is trivial. A paradox …
