Scaling Calculations are calculations that also consider scalability. These calculations include all relevant physical, mechanical, fluid, electrical, chemical, thermal, static, dynamic, aerodynamic, acoustic, optical, hydrological, nuclear, structural, and other properties that allow a machine to be effective for a particular purpose.
The typical calculations for consideration are:
- Weight and center of mass
- Range of motion #
These calculations should be performed for all critical components of machines, even though the aim is not Value Engineering Note: a spreadsheet or education page should be included to give a crash course on each calculation:
