Hello, I've been working on a large program in the industry for around a year now in a co-op program while I'm finishing up school. I'm doing my senior design project right now and I keep getting hung up on little detail design items. For example, different ways to make a bracket. I've heard it...

Thank you all so much! I was expecting that there was no way to analytically predict the strength of them but I just wanted to make sure. Looks like testing is the only option besides replacement. My only issue with that is how consistent will the formation of the formed head really be in this...

Yes that's really what I'm wondering. Is there any way to accurately determine the worst case scenario size of the formed head in this case? Are the handful of specimens I have enough to do this? Or should I use a different approach? They are blind rivets. There was a bad length callout on the...

Hello, if a rivet was incorrectly installed with a shorter than nominal grip length what would be the standard way of determining if it was strong enough or not. I know of ways to look at the final dimension of the rivet from measurements taken after the fact, but if measuring every single rivet...

Also, I'm aware of the equipment needed to perform this type of milling and we have many facilities that are capable of it. I am just wanting to know how to design components that utilize the technology that modern machines can offer. We aren't making parts on 3 axis Bridgeports anymore, however...

Its for an MLG up and nose gear down landing, as well as an all gear up landing. tbuelna-Can't really show any pictures/sketches of the product. You are exactly correct about what my question is about, Are there any books/resources available to help with that type of a design process?

Belly landings/NLG down landings is what I meant to say by that. Yes the study of the wear surface itself was done years ago during the PDR/CDR of the program. I am just altering the actual structure that transfers the 100 ton load into the rear spar. However, the wear surface is not covered by...

Thankyou so much for all of your replies! I found an interesting article about a Boeing process, pockets with integral ribs/gussets are a big part of this design so this was somewhat helpful as well...

Hello! I am a brand new Design/Stress Engineer at a large aerospace company. I have been here for 3 months or so and I'm with a great group of people and I have been able to carry several parts through the design and stress process and see my parts go to the floor. After just graduating college...
