    Video series on engineering life

    Awesome feedback! ... the initial thought was to just start cutting things up ..... try to get as many shorts as we could from the stuff we had. Get our video count over the threshold needed to get to some of the better analytics tools available... As we go forward, we'll get better at helping...

    Video series on engineering life

    Interestingly, if you can get people ALL the way to the end, YT will display you more. So watch to the end (mute), then go to next video. Helps us a LOT. Those that put 'like and subscribe' near the end.... well people skip to the next one and YT doesn't get their ad money, so they dock you...

    Rotational Application - Bolting

    How do you load bolts in bending in a rotational flange? If the joint is loaded in bending, the top / bottom bolts will have a tension in them. Make sure your preload is higher than this to keep the joint from separating. Preload the bolt to the point where it will not fail during initial...

    Wind on Elevated Walkways

    ASCE 7 open structure will give you a net uplift that should put you in the ballpark. Chapter 27 in 7-10 (see Fig 27.4-4). Would probably use obstructed wind flow and use it as a net on the whole thing. ZCP www.phoenix-engineer.com

    Large Diameter Threads subject to Bending Moment

    Determine the needed contact area for the force couple to not fail the thread in bearing as the moment is transferred from the ring to the shaft. See if you have a whole lot more than that. You can then use that same force to see how much thread length is needed to resist that force in shear...

    horizontal lifeline - lanyard constant

    You have the max arrest force. Use that to design the system with FS>2. How many people on the line at a time? Use Nigel if you have more that one. Reminder to check for swing clearance .... Took a look through the paper, seems like the conclusion is an energy absorber is needed somewhere...

    C-Hook for coil, materials

    Might be the time for book solution.... 'Advanced Mechanics of Materials' by Boresi, et. al. has some good crane hook solutions. My old fifth edition also points toward Wang having a effective algorithm ..... WANG, C. C. (1985). A Unified Algorithm for Accurately Sizing Straight and Curved...

    self tapping screws to HSS

    Check the tech sheets for the particular fastener they want to use. Then check the drill points. Then predrill the top/outer plate. Then build in redundancy. #8 will be too small to get through 1/4" plate. If they are pushing, you can always choose a couple of predrill sizes and mockup a...
