Hi all,
I have a scenario in which semi-high cyclical stresses have been found near a steel flange/tube connection via strain gauges. For reference, the OD of the steel tube is >2ft and the wall thickness is >0.25 inches. The steel flange bolts to something else, and I am expecting normal...
I am considering a partial penetration bevel weld that is subjected to both bending and shear loads. I am trying to decide which one of Blodgett's allowable fatigue stress categories applies, as there is a butt weld in tension allowable load and a shear loaded butt weld allowable load.
How...
Hi forum,
I am currently trying to decide how to classify what I am up against, and how to rectify it..
Imagine a plate that has weights bolted to it, that is spun up to several hundred rpms (this is accomplished in ANSYS via rotational velocity BC), but also has cyclical torsional...
Do you guys know where the table here: https://roymech.org/Useful_Tables/Form/Weld_strength.html comes from? I haven't seen much allowance/calculation for butt/fillet welds in bending about its weak axis...
Howdy folks,
In my FEA, I am encountering a scenario in which the bolted-on assembly is experiencing lateral load due to vibrations (should be a screenshot). As the top box tips over, the bolt head essentially "digs in" on one side and pries at clamped material. The peak principal stresses are...
Hello all,
I have a scenario in which I am tapping m10x1.5 threads into cast iron close to an edge - ~0.120". (imagine a 2x2 that is 6 inches long, with a hole drilled in the end faces off-centered such that the edge of the hole is .120" from the sides).
This distance should not move - it's...
