    What are the typical and maximum lengths for metal extrusion?

    Hello, I am trying to compile list of typical and maximum lengths for each material in extrusion process. Materials - Aluminum, magnesium, titanium, carbon steel, stainless steel These thumb rules are supposed to be compiled for new designers. Is there any supplier that specifies these values...

    How to identify over designed components based on FEA or test data?

    As DrZoidberWoop said, I am looking for a management route where the method deployed in excel or other software scans through FEA data for 20000+ components and tells top 20 or so components more suitable for optimization. Consider this as identifying the bottleneck in the system in terms of apt...

    How to identify over designed components based on FEA or test data?

    I am considering heavy duty vehicle structures in scope. e.g. axles/frames/functional components I want to propose a method to identify over designed components because many of the vehicles I work on have very traditional designs (50 years old or even older). If a design engineer want to start...

    How to identify over designed components based on FEA or test data?

    I am trying to create an algorithm to identify bottleneck components or over designed components based on the FEA data. These components from a larger system are already in field. While trying to create a newer version of these or for other purposes like weight/cost reduction, what...

    Thumb rule for honeycomb,corrugated structures.

    What is a thumb rule for equivalent yield strength (improvement or reduction) for perforated, honeycomb and corrugated structures as compared to solid structures? Is there a thumb rule for light weighting for a similar case? The parameters for thumb rule could be weight being reduced/increased...
