Help in designing Brackets!
(OP)
Hi guys, I dont know if you can answer my question or show me a website that can.. I am designing a bracket to withstand a load of 2400kg. The bracket will allow the load to rotate from a upright position to a flat position, much like a letter box but upside-down..What I want to know is where can I find help for working out thickness of my hinge pin, size of bracket and how many bolts I will require and what size.. i have made some calculations based on Stress = Load/Area and had some success, but I know I should be taking a lot more into account (bearing stress etc.) Its more of a can you push me in the right direction question?! Thanks again!

Never, but never question engineer's judgement

This sounds like a good question for your supervising engineer.
Or a good time to reread your statics texts.
