Try getting involved with ASME, or other professional organizations, there are a lot of new engineers out there who could gain from your experience. Teaching classes and speaking at meetings is a great way to keep yourself busy and inspire young minds, and some not so young minds as well.
The biggest problem we have is lots of retirements and closures forcing us to loose a lot talent. I actually work at a depot as a engineering rep for the Navy's In-Service Engineering for Aviation Support equipment, and I’m the one stuck with writing these things, so that our on site contractor...
"As cast" is what’s on the original drawing. My gut told me that did not sound right, which is why I'm trying to educate myself in this area.
From what I have been reading it should have been normalized, and I really do not have much faith in the OEM that it was. The operating temps are what...
Thanks for the feedback I have pretty much decided to let the ‘experts’ deal with it, but knowing what needs to be done and how goes a long way in making sure we get a reliable repair. And since the equipment will be handling bombs I do not want a failure.
Thanks again....
I have a boom (about 6 foot long) that is made IAW ASTM-A27,A148 Class 150-125 chemical composition is equivalent to 4130 Except Si is .64%, and is furnish in an “as cast” condition.
Due to misuse the lower part of the boom is wearing to a point that there is some concern it will not carry the...
If your dealing with and underwater explosion on a suface ship then the only concern you should have would be shock in the verticle direction. High verticle acceleration and shock induced motion of the hull plating is trasmitted upward through the ships frames, bulheads etc...with the highest...
I'm trying to set a point load on the surface of a curve. is this possible or am I have some sort of operator malfuntion. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I am in need of properties values for Water-Lithium Bromide solution. I have one referance (McNeely 1979) but have not had any luck in locating it or any other source. Are there any online sources or book sources available, any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance
OK here is the next challange:
We wanna put a wire follow aroung the parimeter of the operational area...simular to the electric dog fences I assume...any thoughts on this? can I use the dog collar? if so how does it work?
thanks
I think the corner sensors may work is there any way to set up a way to know what corner it's at, if I ounced an IR beam off of some sort of reflector?
The robot will have to cover about an acre with an avg speed no more than 1.5 m/s. T he accuracy needs to be with in about 1/2 meter over the 1 acre area. The area will be the same each time....but the flexablilty to change may need to be put in at some point in the future.
We are looking for methods of determining location, other than odometry. Our Budget is very limited....And the enviromental conditions may interfear with IR for use as sensors...
I would be interested in seeing what you have. Hovering is an ideal I think I can get away with something slow moving, but may have to upgrade the video?
I more or less need some general information now. Sort of a starting point. I need to design a lifting body to carry some camera equipment, for inspection of hard to reach areas. I want to use a UAV type vehicle, something that could possibly hover, for short trips, less than an hour, also to...

We have decided to adapt a controller for an RC tank. This has two motors and the the idea of a controlable reverse is just to tempting. We wont start buildint until September, but I can try and get the specs we have.
Thanks to all for your input.
