    PDMWorks revision rollback

    Having a little trouble rolling back files to old revisions. Not sure why. I have done it in the past but the option is now grayed out. I have run the Vault Admin tool and confirmed that the Administrator has the right to do a rollback. Any help is appreciated.

    fatigue curve for 18-8 stainless

    Can anyone point me in the direction of a S/N curve for an 18-8 stainless? 303, 304 would be great. I looked in MIL-HDBK-5J and was unsuccessful. Thanks P.S. referring me to text I have to purchase may not fit in my time line. A web link would be just dandy..thanks again.

    Analysis for MIL-STD-810F, Section 516.5 Procedure VII - Rail Impact?

    Heres the issue. If you have the requirement listed in the subject above, what data or direction is available to meet this criteria? I also have the requirement of 516.5 Procedure V - Crash impact. My thoughts are that Procedure V is a much worse case in terms of designing hardware to meet the...

    How can I determine amplification factor

    Sorry but amplification factor may not be the correct term but bear with me.... I have the following: 1. A hollow aluminum tube with a mass on the end. I can calculate the anticipated natural frequency with a hand calculation. 2. I have a PSD curve out of MIL-STD-810 that the structure will...

    hole sizing chart

    O.K. heres the dilemma. I'm trying to convince a bunch of knuckle heads that our tolerances aren’t "too tight". The situation is such that we are dealing with a bunch of fabricators that don't have outstanding quality and our internal model shop has only been at this location a year. To further...

    Specification for Electrical Engineering drawings?

    Is there a specification that covers electrical engineering drawings? We use ANSI Y14 for our mechanical stuff. The reason I ask the question is that our electrical guys are making cable drawings and they are showing a view of the connector at each and of the cable and labeling each view as...

    Recommend Reference material for cooling electronics

    Please provide the titles of your best reference text on the subject of cooling electronics. I'm going to try and spend a little over head money and I think I can convince upper management to spend a few hundred bucks on some ASME ref. material or similar. Our main area of focus is taking...
