Pardon the rant...but I have to find out how other companies value their engineers (person to person)? We are a small engineering department of 10 people, all mechanical engineers except one electrical engineer. The electrical guy, whom is a friend and I constantly call him he is high...
Have any of you taken the time to create a recommended bolt torque calculator? I'm in planning stages of this project and looking for tips on how to create the data? I have found some good ones on line, but we would like to have our own in house.
I have been tasked to create a centeral database for all fastner types and their torque values. This table should be specific as to the material with the threads, if oil is used or not, etc. Any ideas where to collect this type of information on the web, via a downloadable chart?
Looking for Basic Excel Testing sheet template to build several types of testing from. Those tests would include cycle testing, durability, etc.
Looking for a format and page layout that would work best, any ideas to download on the web appreciated.

I'm looking to find more information about strength/life cycle increases for a torsion spring that is heat treated after manufacturing. Our manufacture claims a 12-15% increase in the cycle life of the spring if we "bake" the spring after forming with the following process 20min. @450 deg F...
I'm trying to track down any types of paint that are clear at a low temperature and become more opaque at a higher temperature. Any ideas where to look?

I'm looking to gain a better understanding of wing shapes,changing yaw angles, and how they are effected at low speeds (below 30 mph). Can someone please offer some advice on programs that can simulate these effects? I have been told designfoil although simplistic, is pretty good?
Thanks!!
