Hi All
For houses located on busy roads, would it be feasible to locate a remote air inlet in the backyard which pulls cleaner air into the house due to the inlet being a larger distance from the road than the house?
I did a google search and didn’t find anything similar.
Thanks
Hi All
I live on the low side of the street, downhill from a T intersection. The house is cut into the hill, the house is lower than the road. A concern we have is cars losing control around the corner and impacting our house causing injury. A concrete barrier at my boundary isn’t feasible due...
Hi
I'm looking for some simulation software to analyse mostly closed loop hydrostatic transmissions.
Can anybody point me in the direction of some good software? preferably something with a free trial.
Thanks
Hi has anyone done any of the fluid power society online courses?

I tried searching for reviews but didn't find any.

Hi
I have been doing basic linear static structural analysis (pro/mechanica) at work for the past few years and I'm comfortable with simple problems.
I am looking for an online course for ANSYS which leans towards advanced structural problems. I can pick up the basics with youtube etc.
I...
Hi,
I am a Mech engineer with a bit of downtime.
I am looking at doing an online project management course, I have been looking at EL511 - Project Management for Engineers by ASME.
Has anyone done it?
Anyone know of any good alternatives?
Thanks
So we select materials strength criteria based on calculated stress, factors of safety and yield stress values.
So what about the toughness criteria, how do we determine the minimum charpy impact value required for a given design?
Hi Guys,
I'm looking at updating our current drawing print/release/database system.
We currently physically print drawings from ProE, stamp, sign the drawings by hand, re-scan and upload to a web based system. Then for some drawings, save every sheet as a dxf and upload that as well. Its an...
Hi All,
I’m a slightly confused young mech engineer who has let his materials knowledge lapse.
I’m looking at the differences between 4140 and 4340 alloy steel and in particular their toughness proprieties.
With refinance to the web pages below I see 4140 has higher Impact Strength (J)...
Hey Guys,
I'm a young Mechanical design engineer, about 3 years experience.
I'm interested in a job where I can work remotely from home via a laptop and internet connection.
The majority of my experience lies in mining equipment design, drafting, modelling and analysis using Pro/E...
Hi,
I am a young engineer. I work for a company which designs mining machinery that uses large hydraulic rams.
I have little hydraulics knowledge and want to learn. I saw a parker 'introduction to hydraulics design' book floating around the office a year ago, but can't find it now.
Does...
Does anybody know if there is a standard way to analyse telescopic cantilevered beam structures?
One method in the past I have used is to assume a contact area x (See attached sketch), calculate the forces on each assumed contact area then calculate stress via FEA. To me the trouble is this...
When calculating buckling load factors with FEA programs such as Pro/Mechanica what type of safety factors do you guys use for real world problems? e.g. Thin walled cantilevered beam under static bending loads.
I understand FEA does not consider real world manufacturing inaccuracies etc. Hence...
