Thanks Cockroach, prex and jte,
You were all very helpful to my understanding of the problem. I completed your information with some notions of thin wall pressure vessels that I found in the Roark's Formulas for stress and strain by Warren Young.
Thanks again.
HI,
I have an application where I have a tube of a certain wall thickness, internal diameter and internal pressure with ends capped.
I also have a square groove of a certain width and depth machined in the inside diameter of my tube.
I would like to know how to calculate the hoop stress...
Thanks for your interest ornerynorks,
But what do you mean by "quarter hard or softer" when folding a material? By the way, we are using steel.
Thanks.
Hi,
I would like to know if there is a relation or formula that governs the folding of a sheet metal taking into consideration the plate thickness, material, and bending angle. Stress and strain must be included in the formula. More particularly, I'm interested in folding a plate to form a...
Thanks Metalguy,
So if I understand, there is no direct relation between the two locking methods (like 1+1=2). On the other hand, both locking methods must be overcome in order to disassemble the part, so that the overall torque required to disassemble the part will be over 1000 lb-ft. Is that...
Hi everyone,
I have a question here concerning the interaction of different locking devices while used together in an assembly. For example, what would be the required torque to disassemble a bolt if it was torqued at assembly to a value of 500 lb-ft and if we added a threadlock glue (loctite)...
