I will look in to the creep issue but it is not suppose to be in permanent use, so hopefully it won’t limit the material options. As for how we are going to mold it still up in the air. Regular high pressure mold tooling is likely going to price it out of the picture, but we do have a few...
Thanks rick for the recommendation and all the advice.
the part is shelf kind of like thing that constant pressure and can not defect more then an 1/8" over a 3' span. so, since the part is flat, I am assuming that the ribbing will be rather simple. Also the ribbing will only need to increase...
i need to design a part that will required a lot of ribbing and i will need to know its deflection. Can anyone suggest a good reference book that covers the theory of ribbing and the deflection of ribbed parts?
