I want to preface this with the fact I got a C- in dynamics!
I'm trying to analyze a flywheel with a crank attached. A simplification of the design would be a bicycle pedal, crank arm, and a flywheel. All I need to do is calculate the force at the pedal, but just can't do it.
I know the...
We are trying to design a hydraulic unit that gets sealed by a threaded cylinder forming a crush fit with a base. 12L14 is the material we are starting from for the base, as it is good for crimping from what I have been able to find. However, 12L14 is not standard in a flat bar, only rounds. We...
How do you determine how often to change hydraulic fluid?
We have a custom-made hydraulic test machine that is fairly low pressure (2000 psi max), and it's been 10 years since the fluid was changed. We use it almost daily, but probably 1-2 hours of operating time a day.
Will the fluid break...
I've taken over a project where basically two parts are mated using a 1 5/8 - 5 1/2 thread. One is essentially a bolt, the other essentially a cap nut. When the parts are screwed together, the nut bottoms out on the bolt head.
When it bottoms out, the two parts actually lock together...
I am looking for a material that would be used as a diapragm that is expanded by pumping hydraulic fluid into it. Working pressure can be as low as 5k psi, but 10k is more desirable. And, being a diapragm, it needs some flexibility to collapse when it is not pressurized. If I have a starting...
I am running a new C2D 6600 with a NVIDIA Quadro FX 550 card and Solidworks 2004 SP2.1, and am unable to turn on Realview graphics. I am using the 84.26 drivers, which are the latest supported ones for 2005 (the SW website doesn't list the supported 2004 drivers).
Things I have tried...
Can anyone help me identify this product? My goal is to find out details of the product, specifically its anti-corrosive properties. BTW, I have tried to contact the supplier, but have not been successful yet.

I'm trying to find out what effect elevated humidity will have on a smooth AISI 1213 shaft that is coated with hydraulic fluid. Previously, with lower humidity, the shaft does not visibly rust with a simple coat of hydraulic fluid. If we get up to 70-80% humidity (guessing at that number) for...
I am working with what is essentially a cast I beam. What I would like to do is to maximize strength and minimize weight for a given load. I only have general limitations on the dimensions. I started trying to solve the derivative of my moment of inertia equation, but it's been a bit too long...
