    Acrylic=PMMA?

    I am looking for fungus resistance properties of various materials, using MIL-HDBK-454C Table 4-I (attached) as a reference. In that table, Acrylics are listed in Group I (fungus-inert in all modified states and grades), while Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) is listed in Group II (fungus...

    Crash safety shock test comparison

    Thanks for the quick reply and for validating my approach. I agree that it is glorified arm waving, but I think it is a reasonable approach under the circumstances. The mounting screws are the only reasonable point of failure, as there are no parts that can fly off. I suspect that our customer...

    Crash safety shock test comparison

    I am preparing a similarity analysis for a rugged computer for defense applications. As usual, the customer is trying to minimize testing expenses and wants to accomplish as much environmental qualification as possible by means of similarity to other systems that have successfully completed the...

    Specification for small head screws

    For a design he is working on, a colleague needs a 2-56 flathead countersunk screw with a small head diameter, no larger than 3.8mm. He managed to find several such screws online, but none were listed as compliant with any recognized specification. Does anyone know of specifications (MS, ANSI...

    Ball Point Rod?

    A friend who has some wacky but sometimes practical ideas, has asked me if I know how to find an axially load bearing rod with a ball at the end to enable it to ride smoothly over a surface. This would essentially be like a ball point pen, but obviously bigger and stronger. I have seen similar...
