    Pretension needed to prevent separation

    Some possibiltities: I use most of the times:FED-STD-H28/2B (1994) "Federal Standard Screw-thread standards for Federal Services Section 2" Appendix B is a Design method of Unified Screw Threads. This public document can be dowloaded from: http://assist.daps.dla.mil/quicksearch/ You could also...

    database reconstruction

    Hi vjshah, If I understand correctly, you should be able to solve it thus: Select the Utilities tab Select Group Select Groups To Session File In the window select all groups and if you wish to do so you can select a name for the session file (otherwise it uses a default name). Then press Apply...

    Mininum thickness of skins to use countersink rivets

    Hello snappish, When applying countersunk rivets, you'll want at least 0.2mm of the rivet's shaft standing. This is for keeping a proper allowable shear load. When you know the height of the rivethead, you know the minimum thickness. When the present thickness is lower than that, you may want to...

    Anyone out there use Afgrow?

    Thanks Philcondit. I have found some SIF's in the German Handbook "Handbuch Struktur Berechnungen" HSB for stiffened panels too. I was just wondering whether there were input examples available from Afgrow users. jelto

    Anyone out there use Afgrow?

    Is there anyone using the AFGROW program for crack propagation analysis in stiffened panels? Because AFGROW has no built-in model yet for this mode, I am very interested if someone has simulated a cracked stiffened panel, using an existing AFGROW model. Maybe by using Beta factors. An input...

    how to join 2 mm aluminium plate

    tamingsari, It is difficult to weld aluminium. You need an inert gas environment to do any electric welding. This should be done by a specialist in TIG/MIG welding. Another way of connecting 2 plates of aluminium are bonding (maybe you need a special type if the temeperature gets too high) or...

    Beam MathCad files

    Can anyone tell me if there are MathCad files that deal with general solutions of bending beams? I am looking for a flexible solution of pinned end and simply supported beams with a variable number of supports. If possible, the loading should be variable as well (discrete point loads at variable...
