Hello I have been working for 4 years in design and it has its ups and downs. I have to find another job, though. I applied for a posting for a general ME asking for someone with experience in design, analysis, and manufacturing. The posting was rather general in nature and the company is a...
Hello,
I am working on some graduate level coursework and I am finding an off-axis Poisson ratio for a lamina is as high as 0.55 at a certain angle. I have a few references that show similar trends (Gibson's principles of composite material mechanics and this one here...
Hello, I am trying to experiment with nonlinear adaptive meshing and I made a quick test 2D plane stress model.
In the model, a rigid body 'tool' uses a prescribed displacement to contact a billet as a flexible body. The flexible body is fixed in the x-axis on it's sides and x/y on its base...
Hello,
I have been working in industry for 4 years, 3 at my current job and I feel like I do not have any ability to move up from entry level even though I only ever got positive feedback about my work quality and pace of work. I studied in a solid mechanics track for my masters degree and I...
I am working on a submodel (in ANSYS 2021) which comes from a global model that has multiple load steps, varying temperatures, dynamic and static loads, and external data as input. After I got results, my submodel didnt seem to line up correctly when evaluating some reaction forces at key areas...
I recently worked on a project that had many components that required high precision tolerancing at interfaces to control a desired outcome. I don't have a ton of GD&T experience and so I got some help from others around me at the time. I often felt like the possibilities of misalignment were...
I know this question may have been asked in some form at some time but I can't seem to find an answer.
I am wondering what the typical method for thread engagement length is for metric bolts of differing materials? I do have Bickford as a reference and also Machinery's but both have...
