I recently did some calculations for a circular plate with a center hole, the center hole is fixed and the outer edges are free. The load is applied on the outer edge. I used Roark's Forumlas for Stress and Strain (8th Edition), and the Case number for the formula was 1L. The...

Is a 10 module gear compatible with an American Standard Involute Stub tooth gear? Both gears have 20 degree pressure angles. I haven't had much luck finding information on 10 module gear profiles so I'm not sure if the two gears will fit properly. Thanks.

I'm working on a project that involves a large vacuum box that will be operating at a gauge pressure of 13 psi (so the pressure is on the external structure). Does this require a PE to sign off on the design? Are there any specific ASME or ANSI codes I should be aware of? Thanks

Could somebody tell me what the meaning of workable gage is? I read the description in the AISC steel construction manual and found it too ambiguous to be useful. Is it the width between fasteners along the axis of the beam? Is it the distance from the central web to the...

I have a project I'm working on that involves some plastic supports about 2 feet long, 2 to 3 inches thick and about 3 to 4 inches high. This component has to be relatively tough, dimensionally stable, relatively stiff (low or no vibration), highly resistant to creep and as...

I'm looking for a standoff that can be inserted into thermoplastic (as part of an injection molding operation or after the plastic in molded). The standoff would be about 25mm long (not including the portion submerged in the plastic) with a female M3x0.5 thread. I've found...

I've been doing some CAD work on a company project. I talked to the guy who did the prototyping work and he suggested we go with a 12L14 grade steel due to its ease of machining. My question is, should I have any safty concerns with leaded steel? The parts shouldn't come...
