GREEN SHEETS
ANALYSIS AND RADD
Below are green sheets showing an example of RADD as well as other calculations made in the process of designing the slab tipper. These calculations were used as an aid in helping decided what types of materials should be used as well as the dimensions for parts.
​
Also Below is a button with a link to specifications for the Slab Tipper project including description, goal of the project, and requirements.
Shear/Moment: Tipping Surface
1500lb stone
F= 93.7lbs
Maximum shear = 234lbs
Max Moment = -3749.5 in-lbs
Force to control Stone When Tipping
Stone: 66" x 105"Â 963lbs
Lever Arm: 26.5 in
Force Required: 205lbs
Force Graph
Comparing the force needed to transport stone onto counter top with and without the Slab Tipper. The data is based of selected sizes of stone using a man made white Quartz. (1- Without Slab Tipper, 2- With Slab Tipper).
