I'm working a bit outside of my comfort zone when it comes to vibration.
I'd like to take a center of mass/weight, the vibration/shock input, and the mounting points/spring constants and calculate the responses for natural frequency and transmitted vibration/shock load.
The system can move and...
Do you happen to know the equations to equate bolt torque to joint holding strength?
Under normal circumstances it should just sit there. A very rare shock load is estimated at 800 lb-in in torque. I noticed structures like these, they seemed to hold up nicely:
@MJCronin, that image is all I...
I'm working on a project that would benefit from cheap tubing as a frame. However, I'm not too familiar with some of the methods of fixing them together.
I attached a basic view of the structure. Yes, made in paint, but it gets the point across I think.
Some examples of how I imagine it fitting...
