    Living near busy road - remote air inlet

    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

    Car crash barrier design

    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...

    Car crash barrier design

    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...

    Determining acceptable charpy impact values

    Thanks Guys. My suspicions were correct.

    Determining acceptable charpy impact values

    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?

    4140 and 4340 alloy steel

    Hi All, I’m a slightly confused young mech engineer who has let his materials knowledge lapse. I’m looking at the differences between 4140 and 4340 alloy steel and in particular their toughness proprieties. With refinance to the web pages below I see 4140 has higher Impact Strength (J)...
