    Antisquat force vs spring K rate force

    There could be a very straight forward answer to this, but hopefully I can leave here understanding this a little more from someone more familiar with suspension kinematics. Out of all antisquat material I have read, it seems like all anti squat is described in %. What is this % of (weight...

    Sway bar spring rate formula

    when i was taking vehicle dynamics in my undergrad, we used the first equation for just the torsional stiffness. Do not forget there is also bending moment as if the sway bar is a beam. You would then add the two stiffness equations as if they were two springs: (k1+k2)/(k1*k2) Like the OP...

    Ideal coolant temperature for fuel economy?

    To pretty much sum up what everyone is saying: The only reason for real world engines to have a max temp is to keep the material from melting. Theoretical otto/diesel/dual cycles will have higher thermal efficiency with higher compression ratios and tempuratures.

    Job Application to Company with Multiple Openings of Interest

    Apply to both. If the system allows it, have two different resumes tailored to each. When I was interviewing for my current position, i straight up told the supervisor of whom i am now working for, that im also interviewing for another position right after the current interview, and he even...

    Operational vs analysis/design engineering

    im impressed with the replies in this thread. There seems to be opinions from a large variety of backgrounds. I'm working for a defense contractor, and was hired into a more running operations function, specifically giving trades instructions and implementing radiological controls since we work...

    Is grad school a wise choice?

    Why not pick up the guy with the MS but pay him the salary of roughly a BS? I understand what you mean, but some defense contractors equate a Masters to two years of work exp automatically.

    Operational vs analysis/design engineering

    Those are some pretty strong replies. Nice to hear input from a large variety. There must have been some misunderstanding here. "Real engineering" is referred to as making calculations and designing systems, according to many engineering professors. The products and services our company does...

    Operational vs analysis/design engineering

    Locock to the rescue haha. What you described sounds like a technician or engineer aide. I'm not implying doing physical labor. When I talk about operations, i mean being responsible for X and Y systems in a scope and making sure they are operating by making decisions for repairs, writing...

    Operational vs analysis/design engineering

    We all know the engineering field is probably one of the most broad professional choices out there. Out of all the jobs out there, it seems like they all fall either into two categories: the more analysis or designing side, or a conducting operation or over seeing trades and get sh1t done side...

    anyone have exp on in Systems Engineering?

    from wiki: looking on USAjobs, industrial engineers fit the job description of the systems engineers we're talking about here.

    Questions for Mechanical engineer technologist

    I have heard of companies that do look down on MET degrees, they can easily be avoided. Where I work, it is literally half ME, and half MET grads. The majority of recent grads of both are pursuing a Masters ME degree as well, although some Masters program will require MET students to take a few...

    anyone have exp on in Systems Engineering?

    I appreciate the informative contribution. Doing a search on LM's job site for safety systems, i did get 1 result for a systems engineering job that fits the type of Systems Engineering we're discussing. Doing a search through my company (defense contractor similar to LM), that term does not...

    anyone have exp on in Systems Engineering?

    I was hoping someone who has some personal experience with this can chime in and possibly lead me towards the right direction. I have a background in Mech and I've been looking into a MS in Systems Engineering recently. From what I've read, it sounds like its something I want, as it seems like...
