    creating random vibration test specifications

    I am creating random vibration test specifications for multiple units following this reference https://femci.gsfc.nasa.gov/random/randomtestspec.html is there a software that implements automatically these rules in guideline 3 of this reference? it becomes useful if you have to create multiple...

    RBE interface force

    How to evaluate the forces at RBE2 and RBE3 interfaces? Is it possible to do it without a spring or beam element in between? What I have is CQUAD4 - RBE2 - CQUAD4 and CQUAD4 - RBE3

    solidworks very slow (not assembly!)

    My solidworks suddenly became very slow, even if I am starting a new part, or clicking anything, for example "Front Plane", it makes my power usage to instantly spike to "very high" (image attachment) I have restarted the computer, I have enough space in the disk, and I don't see what could be...

    High response misplaced

    Running a frequency response in a structure and plotting the accelerations at specific locations, from 10-100 Hz The resonance modes in these locations are in the range 60-80Hz, but the maximum plotting the maximum accelerations, these maximum appear at 25-35Hz, which is not expected. Anyone...

    Generating random envelope

    See attachment picture I want to place orange structure in the blue structure. 1) The orange structure was analyzed, isolated, with a specific random input. Accelerations on the structure were extracted. 2) The blue was analyzed, together with the orange, and with a similar random input of the...

    Mg with Al -> Problem?

    I read magnesium is soluble in aluminum is it reasonable to have one part of aluminum in contact with one part made of magnesium? Would I have degradation of the magnesium part? corrosion? ...

    Gear match, position of the center

    At what distance should the center of the gear be to have a perfect match? -I am including the 2 gears in a CAD, but need to know which position I should place the center of the gearshttps://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=7a74cbbe-caed-4129-ba7d-f9a8c6e1d760&file=Capture.JPG

    bracket load and stiffness requirements (space)

    For a bracket being design for space applications where do the structural requirements come from, for example frequency higher 120Hz acceleration x,y,z 20g,20g,25g random and so on where the exact numbers come from? because the documents I searched are generic

    vibration testing

    What is the criteria to decide if it would be better to test (or not) an structural item for the following tests: [ol 1] Sine testing Random testing Shock testing [/ol] Typically for structures 2. Random is tested But sometimes people decide that it is safe to not test 1.Sine, and 3.Shock What...

    relative strength of materials

    What are the properties that define if an arrow can pierce through a wall? I guess the material properties, as ultimate strength and the geometry - thickness of the wall, sharpness of the arrow but given particular examples arrow of steel wall of titanium, 10mm thick, how can we theoretically...

    FEMAP - nodes move by deform - recover

    Hi all by using custom tools > post processing > nodes move by deform all nodes will have the coordinates of the deformed model. is there a way to have the nodes at the previous, non-deformed, coordinates? thanks

    FEMAP - convection

    I'm trying to solve a simple convection in FEMAP How can I choose the properties of the air in FEMAP, namely its temperature, h, and eventually speed? Am I supposed to defined some sort of infinite reference point with the air properties? I'm also attaching the model as it is now, for those...
