Hi all,
I've been doing some checking of some older fabricated trestles at work to check load ratings etc. See the attached image for a welding trestle. I have been using FEA so we have a report record etc. Anyways, so far all have been 2D planar members for legs - as in if you look at the end...
Hi all.
Does anyone know of any design requirements and load factors to be used for ute tray design, particularly in Australia? I haven't found any ADR documents which outline anything specifically for ute trays. I have found VBS 1 which has a lot of the design and loading requirements for...

I am attempting to make a non-truncated cone with a very shallow taper/slant angle. My knowledge of fabrication methods and processes is not up to par and, thus, I am curious about how this cone as shown in my attached pictures would be fabricated.
Firstly, is it possible to fabricate...
