Has anyone done high-load bearings with silver plating? I hear and read things with words like 'high load' in them, but nothing quantitative. Obviously the material strength of silver is way less than structural metals. But in a thin film on a wide surface, do numbers like yield strength mean...

I am working on a bolted joint where the joint is only about 4 times stiffer than the bolt. (The 'active' length of the bolt is about 4 diameters, but about half of that is...
I have an application in development that uses 1.375-12 socket head cap screws. The calculated maximum load for the beast puts a stress of about 119 ksi on each one of these. (The estimated load may be high, I plan to strain gauge the beast and find out what the real load is.) Since nominal...
