Hello rb1957, thank you for your answers, that is very helping.
can you recommend me a few books on the subject ?
yes bonding beads, i dont know the real name in english, they're calibrated glass balls you mix with the adhesive, they limit how thin the adhesive can go.
thanks again
Hi, i have a few questions about the riveted joints that hold a aircraft together :
-Does the rivet retain axial preload from being bucked ? if yes how to calculate the value ?
-Does a riveted joint provide strength from the friction between the 2 sheets jointed together and normal load on...
Hi,
How would one go about modeling riveted joints of a riveted aluminium sheet monocoque on Solidwork FEA ( or another ) ?? should i use bolts, or simplify by juat surface contact and clamping force ?
If yes how do i calculate clamping fprce of a rivet ?
Thank you
Is a fabricated crankshaft a viable option for a turbo racing engine ? (4 cylinder / 2 litre / approx 800Nm )
By :fabricated" i had in mind :
Bored plates that act as throw/counterweight and the pins and mains would be pieces of round stock, all press fitted together and welded, by tig...
Very true, but most compound systems have wastegate to bypass the HP turbo usually, they never dump them to open air. Hence why i asked what made it different case here
Hello,
I came across this video of THailand drag trucks. They use compound turbo systems. However, it seems that they dont reintroduce HP wastegates outlet before LP stage. (wastegate on collector, before small HP turbo dumps to open air)
Is there a strategic reason behind this ? To me...
Hello,
I know they used Toluene and like 30% Diesel,
Why diesel ? Some say it is to slow down combustion butbi dont believe it is that, and it would not be beneficial to do this.
I think it was done to lubricate the mechanical injection system.
Hello, can someone explain me something i struggle a bit with ?
Lets assume a spring / mass system (like the corner of a car )
If i have a linear spring, with 10kg/mm and i put
300kg of preload, the spring will be compressed 30mm.
Now lets assume the corner of the car is 400kg, when you...
Hello,
What effect does rebound damping have on a vehicule taking a jump ? (MotoX or trophy truck for example )
In my opinion, little rebound damping (faster rebound) causes the vehicle rear to ride high, because the action of the wheel going down will equally push the vehicle up, correct ...
I always wonder why, turbo inline 4 can sound so different ,
Like these for example have a "smooth sound" if i can say

While some have that particuliar aggressive sound that reminds of a subaru

Hello
I was watching this F1 documentary where they show an engine on the dyno and they use an industrial compressor to provide boosted air
What kind of control strategy would be used here for pressure control ?

Hello,
Why does generally FWD and AWD vehicles have less caster angle than RWD vehicles ? Is this to lower the self centering effect of the driven wheels ?
Thanks
Hello,
Why does in a differential, im common systems when going forward, the pinion gear's concave face attacks the convex face of the crown gear ?
I struggle to understand the advantage here ? Why not the other way around ?
Thanks
Yes but these are different than dual spring rate, when the wheel is on the ground, the orange springbis compressed 100% coil binded. Hence ita flat coil profile.
Its purpose is to guide the main spring when in full droop so it never comes loose.
But why not just put a longer spring with...
