Group Design02:01

Group Design

10.6K
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

Resultant of a General Distributed Loading01:13

Resultant of a General Distributed Loading

1.0K
While designing structures exposed to non-uniform loads, it is crucial to consider the resultant force and its location. This resultant force is a single vector representing the net force applied due to the distributed load.
Examples such as load distribution due to wind and load distribution on a bridge illustrate how this concept is used to analyze and design safe, reliable structures under variable loading conditions. Most structures, such as residential buildings, bridges, and towers, are...

Factorial Design02:01

Factorial Design

14.0K
Factorial Analysis is an experimental design that applies Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical procedures to examine a change in a dependent variable due to more than one independent variable, also known as factors. Changes in worker productivity can be reasoned, for example, to be influenced by salary and other conditions, such as skill level. One way to test this hypothesis is by categorizing salary into three levels (low, moderate, and high) and skills sets into two levels (entry level...

Resultant Moment: Scalar Formulation01:31

Resultant Moment: Scalar Formulation

2.3K
When multiple forces act on an object in two-dimensional space, the concept of the net moment can be used to understand the tendency of these forces to induce rotational motion about a fixed point. The scalar formulation of the resultant moment is a helpful tool in analyzing the equilibrium of structures subjected to multiple forces.
To determine the resultant moment, the moments caused by all the forces in a system in the x-y plane are considered. Positive moments are typically...

Resultant Moment: Vector Formulation01:30

Resultant Moment: Vector Formulation

3.9K
When a force is applied to an object, the tendency of the object to rotate about a point is known as its moment. If multiple forces are acting on an object, the sum of moments of all the forces acting on a body can be expressed as the resultant moment of the system. The resultant moment can be considered a vector quantity that can be added and subtracted like any other vector.
The resultant moment of a system of forces can be calculated through vector formulation. For example, if we consider...

Framing Effects03:26

Framing Effects

8.0K
Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info. This broad concept umbrellas framing effects—influences that occur due to the way information is framed in its appearance, whether it’s purely the order or the specific wording of a message. Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in...
