    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...

    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...
