In part 9 of this series, Corey demonstrates how calculations can be used to determine reactions.
In part 8 of this series, Corey creates a mathematical model of the jib geometry using MathCAD.
In part 7 of this series, Corey shows how to use the Law of Cosines to determine the forces on the jib pivot pin and cylinder based on the cylinder length.
In part 6 of this series, Corey creates the Free Body Diagram and governing equations for the cylinder and jib.
In part 5 of this series, Corey shows how to layout cylinder geometry for the log splitter jib using Solidworks. He indicates the benefits of using this method and how easy it is to calculate the cylinder load quickly.
In part 4 of this series, Corey shows how to combine axial, bending, and shear stresses of the main log splitter beam using Mohr’s Circle. He also give his thoughts on the design factor of the section.
