Bathtub fitting with radius filler
Bathtub fitting with radius filler
(OP)
Has anyone knowledge of a method for analyzing a bathtub fitting with a radius filler added to increase capability.
This has arisen on a retrofit where they want to increase the capability but dont want to remove/replace the bathtub fitting.
Thanks in advance for your advice/assistance

RE: Bathtub fitting with radius filler
it would depend on what was critical with the existing design. I guess you are increasing the strength on the end-pad; the radius washer will carry some of the pin load to the edge of the end-pad (so if the end-pad is critical this'll help, but if the sides are critical, i don't think you've improved things much.
do you have an analysis for the existing fitting ?
do you have lockheed SM88a ?
