I am doing a project for school that will measure the different properties of air going thru a reed valve that is on many two stroke snowmobile engines. The thing that my prof and me are having problem doing is measuring the flow of the air. We need a meter that we will be able to get the...
Ok I broke out one of my old textbooks and found a section on calculating loads for joints. I came up with 10 gage sheet metal made of A36 was bound by the tensile load. It can hold 69,310 lbs/in^2. This is still the same design as above. Does this sound resonable. My worry about tare out...
Ok then how would I figure out the load that the friction between the three surfaces. I would need to know the Mu for the surfaces and is there a resource that tells you the Mu for different surface to surface contacts. I am currently designing the green piece to be 3 gage sheet metal to be...
The 300lbs will be place down (towards the bottom of your screen in the second picture). The first picture is a top view and the second is a front view. These both are assembly views. The only part that has threads in it is the white piece in the second picture. I am trying to size the green...
I am designing a machine to take a push cart and dump it in a tote. I have a holder that is to bent out of sheet metal and I need to know what thickness I need for that. I currently have it at 3 gage but that is not easily bent into shape. Here are some pictures of my design
I see the...
