SUMMARY:Engineering in Entertainment Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Why Things Don’t Fall Down (Until They Do)\nA Minimal-Math Guide to Loads\, Failures\, and Engineering Insight \nThe TET Fund is offering a new engineering seminar\, specifically designed for stagehands\, taught by Local One Brother\, Matthew Saide. \nEngineering isn’t about equations—it’s about understanding how forces move and where things can go wrong\, and that affects our safety and the safety of the audience. In this seminar\, you’ll learn the fundamentals of load paths\, structural behavior\, and failure modes using everyday examples from performance spaces. We’ll dissect a real-world collapse\, uncover how material choices and shapes affect strength\, and apply it all in an interactive design challenge that puts you in the engineer’s seat. \nPlease see the outline below of topics covered in this course: \n\nEngineers – who they are\, why they are important\, and my background\nUnderstanding load path – what it is\, and identifying it in typical theatrical systems\nBasic Physics – Newton’s laws and Free Body Diagrams – what they are and how to draw them\nBasic Statics – Understanding how loads flow through members\nMaterial Properties – Understanding what stress and strain are and how they relate to each other\nStatic Failure Methods – Understanding the various ways something can fail and how to prevent each from happening\nFatigue Failure Methods – Understanding how something can fail due to repeated loading and how to identify it\nCase Study – Kansas City Hyatt Regency Hotel Skywalk Collapse\nDesign Challenge – Apply our understanding of load paths and how things fail to conceptually design a complex piece of stage automation\nAsk an Engineer / Q & A\n\nTo RSVP\, please email Ryan McDonough at director@localonetetfund.org
