Hi guys, i have an application where i am bolting a structure to a CF laminate.
I need to use a plate (drilled & tapped); embedded fasteners won't work for my application.
I have other features moulded on the rear face, so ideally i would rather not mount the plate on that face.
Are there any...
Is it necessary to debulk a dry stack of carbon fiber plies prior to resin infusion?

I'm just not sure whether this would be necessary for a dry stack of...

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to calculate the deflection of a beam but I'm not 100% sure about my calculation of the second moment area.
I've compared it to the section properties in a cad model and they don't seem to add up.
I'd be grateful if someone could have a quick look over my formula and...
Apologies if I'm asking such a stupid question but can anyone here tell me the formula to calculate the loading on 3 supports of a beam when there is unequal spacing between them and the beam has a single offset point load?
The point load is 1020kg offset 950mm from the left.
Support 1 is at...
