    Fixing steel plates within a steel cylinder

    I don’t exactly know what it is. All I know is it’s for storage. You’re overthinking this way too hard. Forget about pressure or any design constraints. Describe the holes you’d put through that plate and I’ll be more than happy.

    Fixing steel plates within a steel cylinder

    I get what you want to do with posts, but pretend you’re using bolts. What diameter holes would you drill in the plates and where + how many? Every plate is permanent.

    Fixing steel plates within a steel cylinder

    @rb1957, I don’t know what supports the hangers, it’s just an idea drawing. I’m noting down your flange and posts ideas, in fact I’d really appreciate if you could illustrate them with a drawing as well. Since we really want to perforate the plates and for the sake of listing several...

    Fixing steel plates within a steel cylinder

    Exactly, there is no single “objective” solution as it’s a very open problem. Every engineer will suggest something different that will be correct and hold the plates. The assembly is used for storage, the mass they’re supposed to carry is low so it’s not a design parameter right now. Maybe a...

    Fixing steel plates within a steel cylinder

    Hello, This should be a simple problem: As shown on my drawing I want to add plates of stainless steel to create levels within this hollow cylinder structure. The plates are Ø900 mm and distanced each by 120 mm. The total height of the cylinder makes it such that I want to install 4 or 5...

    Definition of Senior Mechanical Engineer

    It will definitely help in the first screening of candidates, but any competent interviewer should be able to have a critical eye on the amount of time spent for each position on a resume. That and the performance during the interview. Assume they're slick and slide the right keywords in to land...

    Quick lift jack for small, low vehicles

    Hi, Similarly to what takes place during pit stops for race cars, I'm exploring possibilities for a lifting jack to raise and lock autonomous robots up in the air for wheel changing. I have a variety of models ranging between 500 mm to 900 mm in width, 800 mm to 1300 mm in length, very short...

    Lateral impact on thin vertical beam

    I have a steel structure designed to hold a certain payload. This structure rests on 4 thin tubes of steel for legs (Ø60 mm total diameter for 2.5 mm thickness). The structure is well-designed for intended operation, i.e bearing the weight of the payload. But I'd like to simulate an accident...

    Compact vertical lift system - alternatives to scissor-lift

    Pneumatic bellows and hydraulic jack weren't on my list, thanks for the suggestions. Actually, forget about the context. All I want is a catalog of the most compact and especially long-life devices for vertical lift. I'm just asking for ideas of devices. Just anything that comes to your mind...

    Compact vertical lift system - alternatives to scissor-lift

    Hi, I'm looking to catalog relevant alternatives to my current scissor lift system. It experiences high stress upon starting its rise, then less and less as it lifts upward. There's the promising idea of screw jack lifting, I want to lift 1/4t to 1t weight range with a stroke of 40-50mm. But...
