I'm wondering if there would be any pressures generated during the vulcanizing process where rubber is placed inside of a 6061 T6 aluminum tube with the dimensions of 4"OD, 3.5" ID, and 3" in length.
Sorry I do not have much info about the process other than the tubes are filled with rubber...
I regularly perform compression tests on aluminum tubing. The tubing must meet a requirement of a minimum length deflection. Whoever drew the print up is using the length (before compression), multiplied by the yield offset value of .002 (0.2%). I'm wondering if anyone knows why an engineer...
