Hey folks,
I've been scratching my head over Frank Watts' Engineering Documentation Control Handbook 4th Ed., particularly the use of a "dash" in Part Numbers. Seems a lot like just putting a Rev in there, which Watts strictly says don't do.
For instance:
PN 123456-01
(some...
Assuming the bonding doesn't fail (not trying to focus on the bonding, assume square section is one with the channels), the square section will try to bend both the flanges, do you evaluate those flanges separately or combined as per items #1 and #2 in OP? Or by some other method
“If the women...
Hiya,
Yeah, I will look at the bonding separately (different issue :P), trying to localize and focus on the flange(s) of the c-channel currently and how to show the stress in these, I'm thinking it’s either scenario 1 or 2 as I mentioned in the OP, just need some convincing.
Yeah, the large...
The rigid square section is bonded to the inside face of the flanges (as mentioned in OP). Illustration below to make that clearer.

Hello, a problem I'll try to conceptualize best I can:
Let's say I have a rigid solid square section that is bonded on both sides of the flanges at both ends by a c-channel of length width W, flange thickness t, gap (and square dim) l and flange height h (see below illustration).
A moment M is...
Hi Desertfox, even with pneumatic device and lubricated bolts?

Thanks , revised the calc to pivot about the furthest bolt, updated calc below with a bit of pre-load evaluation:

Hello, Looking for a bit of a sanity check on a bolt calculation, biggest thing is if to take the point of rotation about the bolt group centroid or the first bolt (given the geometry the first bolt could also seem like a valid option, just unsure with this geometry), calculation below shows...
Yeah, appreciate the thought, reason why is that the geometry shown above is what it is essentially due to the shape of the equipment being carried and how it is being transported, let’s just say that there are little options other than the geometry already presented, that's why, if possible...
Agreed, bit of background information was shared in the link in my OP, but ill copy it here:

Hi Team, thanks for the responses, much appreciated!
I used configuration #2 in original calculation as it seamed more appropriate than #3, #2 has moment applied about the length of the weld (#3 moment is about the weld leg):
However this was replaced with what I calculated based on Hobart...
Hello, I had posted this along with several other questions here, but I wanted to re-post the weld specific question here as it may get some different insight.
I have a weld and load geometry that I have not been able to find a concrete example on how to evaluate in any textbook or code. I have...
Hi desertfox, thanks again for all your comments and working thru this with me, much appreciated!
Okay I get what you mean by 3D, but the base of each weld lines on the same plane, that is the top flange of the lower beam. The welds all connect to the same object with their base on the same...
Hi,
goutam_freelance
Really appreciate the check up on the FEA, I will be adding vertical plates plates (12mm thick, both sides, 25mm away from the center of the flange) to share some of this load.

The weld formula provided doesn't assume the weld is continuous (i.e one continuous...
Hi, yes okay the moment I think should be that original value. Was looking at it thru my load diagram I posted in my last post, 3rd photo. But I'll go with the original moment as per below:
However, i'm really after is a peer review of the section modulus I found in my last post and if its...
