Thanks EnergyP. If someone has done this or knows of any existing systems available, then please let me know!

Hi All For houses located on busy roads, would it be feasible to locate a remote air inlet in the backyard which pulls cleaner air into the house due to the inlet being a larger distance from the road than the house? I did a google search and didn’t find anything similar. Thanks

Thanks Tomfh. I don't mind if the garage needs to be fully rebuilt after the collision providing the garage does not deform into the house. The primary objective is for the garage to stop the car before it can hurt people in the house. I might have to hire a structural engineer as I'm...

Hi All I live on the low side of the street, downhill from a T intersection. The house is cut into the hill, the house is lower than the road. A concern we have is cars losing control around the corner and impacting our house causing injury. A concrete barrier at my boundary isn’t feasible due...

Hi I'm looking for some simulation software to analyse mostly closed loop hydrostatic transmissions. Can anybody point me in the direction of some good software? preferably something with a free trial. Thanks

Hi has anyone done any of the fluid power society online courses? http://www.ifps.org/docs/education_training/training/online_training/default.aspx#Pricing I tried searching for reviews but didn't find any. Thanks

Yeah, The only thing is - you cant really put a book that you have worked through on your resume. But even still, I'll be getting one of those books - Cheers.

Thanks guys. The book looks perfect.

Hi I have been doing basic linear static structural analysis (pro/mechanica) at work for the past few years and I'm comfortable with simple problems. I am looking for an online course for ANSYS which leans towards advanced structural problems. I can pick up the basics with youtube etc. I...

Hi, I am a Mech engineer with a bit of downtime. I am looking at doing an online project management course, I have been looking at EL511 - Project Management for Engineers by ASME. Has anyone done it? Anyone know of any good alternatives? Thanks

Thanks Guys. My suspicions were correct.

So we select materials strength criteria based on calculated stress, factors of safety and yield stress values. So what about the toughness criteria, how do we determine the minimum charpy impact value required for a given design?

Hi Guys, I'm looking at updating our current drawing print/release/database system. We currently physically print drawings from ProE, stamp, sign the drawings by hand, re-scan and upload to a web based system. Then for some drawings, save every sheet as a dxf and upload that as well. Its an...

Thanks!!
