" if you're just going to leave that company in a year or two anyway you might as well do it now."
It's my thought exactly. There is no point to stay here if I want to leave in future, better take the current opportunity.
As far as I know, in this case your weld is loaded by an axial force plus a bending moment (aka axial eccentric loading).
The distance you need for moment calculation is the distance between the loading point and the center of mass of the weld section (13" + half of the length of the weld)...
During the notice the worker is paid with the regular salary.
Anyway, I resigned this morning, my last day will be the 21st. My boss isn't happy but I had to find a compromise between my and their needs.
Thank you for your kind advice.
Stefano
In Italy the notice you have to respect is mandatory both for the employee who is resigning and the employer who is firing someone and is established by national standard contracts for different categories. If the notice is shorter than the minimum, the employee (if resigning) or the employer...
Dear all,
As some of you may have read in my previous post, I'm leaving my current company for a railway engineering company which I worked for about two years ago.
To make the story short, according to italian law and to my salary level, I have to give only a 7 days notice to my employer...
I opted for the railway job for the reasons you listed and something more.
No, 2 (by car) or three hours (by train) in total back and forth. Nap on the train? Yes, especially coming back home, but I don't always fall asleep or sleep good for various reasons, so I can actually recover only...
Dear rotw,
I do know I don't get along with my boss much, but I'm trying to take into account all the aspects of the issue.
Can you expand more about the "negative attributes", please? I find it difficult to understand your point. Thanks for your time.
In the last few days I started thinking...
Dear all,
I'm an italian Mechanical Engineer with 6 years of job experience and I'm 30.
I worked for three years in a small Oil&Gas company, whose main business was elements for flow measurement and temperature measurement in pipes. Since I has to deal both with CAD design and workmen (apart...
Dear rotw,
I'm simply pointing out that, as humans, we have various interests/hobbies/passions, but doing something simply because you enjoy it and doing it as a profession (though you may like it) are two completely different beasts.
Career choices involve many factors which are not at play in...
Dear rotw,
While I acknowledge that doing a job you love/like is a good thing, I find it difficult, at least for me, to have a "passion" for the profession.
I have some interests which I pursue during my free time only because of my passion for them, but they're still hobbies and not a job...
Dear kaconnol,
Thank you for your sound and practical advice.
If I've ever learned anything in these 5 years, is that:
1 - there is no "ideal" job (provided that you can define what "ideal" means, and this comes only with experience), only good or bad ones;
2 - you can influence in some way...
Dear all,
I'm 29 and Five years have passed since my graduation in Mechanical Engineering.
My first job was as a designer in a small firm in the Petrochemical/Energy industry; we manufactured primary flow and temperature elements for international customers.
It was not purely technical, but it...
AFAIK you should use a method similar to that used to obtain the Stribeck formula, which is employed to calculate the load distribution in a rolling bearing.
Stefano
Dear Anthony,
It is true that for saturated steam you do need only one variable to define the state. So you can obtain temperature simply from pressure.
But when you try to calculate enthalpy from temperature, you must take into account that:
a) specific heat of steam may not be constant with...
As desertfox put it, the beam will rotate so that the loads (sling tension and W) are aligned.
This does seem a bad situation for load lifting.

Stefano
Hello Darren2K4,
I'd suggest to treat the two beams as separate, considering their free body diagrams.
The vertical beam undergoes axial stress, the horizontal one bending and shear, while the beam-sheet joint undergoes shear and torque, which I believe to be the most likely cause of failure...
I suppose that Venturi was calibrated for this particular service, because Reynolds value is beyond ISO 5167 standard. In addition, beta ratio is close to the usual upper limit (0.7-0.75).
As far as the primary element, i.e. the tube, is concerned, I think there are two reasons for this low...
Hi tcmcg,
It seems that your Reynolds is much greater than the maximum allowed by current standards... Was the Venturi calibrated for the service?
Could you also please advise regarding ID and type of construction (welded, machined ...)?
Regards,
Stefano
As far as I remember, you can use separation of variables, but I don't remember exactly how to get to the Fourier Series.
Anyway, pay attention to the coefficients since this method is useful if you can achieve ODEs with constant coefficients, otherwise this might prove a bit harder than usual...
I'm sorry katmar, you're right. :-)
This is one of the cons of "fast calculations"!
Anyway, velocity is indeed high as LittleInch pointed out.
Regards,
Stefano
