Hi GRF, sorry for the delayed reply. The latter of the two is what I am looking for. I am looking for a separate serial number for each prefix. I'm not actually working on the system myself but I will pass your suggestion on to the admin girl who is doing it to see if she can do something like...

The company I work for was recently purchased by a larger company and as part of the takeover we are moving to using Solidworks instead of Inventor and we are also moving to using Solidworks PDM for all document management. The company I work for is effectively an oil and gas / renewables...

Thankyou very much from the responses, I will get hold of the DG and the journal if i can and see what they say. I have subsequently found some literature in Butterworths Structural Steelwork Connections under the local out of plane bending of plates supported on more than one side (Sect...

I have a connection design which is effectively a beam with welded end plate connecting to a column column by a 4 bolt group which is set within the beam flanges. I have two questions relating to prying in this connection. 1 - Do I have to consider prying of the end plate? 2 - If I add full...

Hi, apologies for the delayed response, hopefully the info below is informative and not patronising. It is not the intent to machine the surface to reduce fatigue, it is more that in service the surface has been machined and I want to know if I can make any account of that to reduce fatigue...

I'm looking for any guidance or papers on how fatigue lives can be extended for carbon steel through the machining of the surface to remove surface defects as they develop. I have found a comment in Fatigue of Metallic materials by Mirk Klesnil and Peter Lukas that refers to work done with...

Hi Cory the thread is internal, i have attached a couple of images which show the paths checked and also VM stress plots from Ansys http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=ad970326-74c4-409f-841f-a57388e410e4&file=connector_stress_plots.pdf

Looking for some advice on stress linearisation, specifically how to deal with shear dominated stress paths. A consulting company has performed analysis on a threaded pipe connector subject to bending, tension and compression. They have calculated the capacity of the connector based on ISO...
