    Drum Crush Analysis

    I need to analyze essentially a winch cable around its drum. It is a single layer of cable, Is there a way to apply a varying pressure in Ansys Structural around the drum surface in line with the cable wraps? Thanks Ex

    what would you do?

    And now that you have posted on a public forum that you feel a project is unsafe, you may be responsible for whatever deaths that occur if you don't report it. (because you have openly admitted it in public)... just a thought.

    Raises?

    5% this year, it was 4 months late, but was paid retroactive to my start date. Had a $5k bonus early in the year and will probably be getting a 15%-20% bonus later this year. Business is good...... at least here :) Wayne

    How would I make a tube with multiple bend from carbon fiber?

    BNRG Sorry for the delay in replying, I haven't been back to the site in a while. For the handlebars, we used surgical tubing for the inner bladder. The sheets were not wrapped tight to the bladder, but 5-6 layers resulting in a tube just smaller than the mold so we could get it closed. So...

    How would I make a tube with multiple bend from carbon fiber?

    We built carbon fiber mountain bike handle bars in college using an aluminum mold and an inflatable tube. Worked great, sounds like your application is a larger diameter but the principle is the same. Wrapped the tube in pre-preg sheet at the appropriate angles, layed it in the mold and...

    how to design an aeroplane sawing machine

    Waterjet is trickey with composites. I have see problems with piercing laminate composites because before the jet makes it all the way through the part, some of the stream is diverted along the layers of the laminate causing delamination. You will likely get good results if you do not need to...

    Water Jet Cutter easily selfmade

    You would be better off finding one used for sale. It is unlikely you can economicly make nozzles and orifaces, and the intensifier is simple but would still need quite a bit of work to make (cylinders, hydraulics, controls, and check valves). You could build the robot easily enough but I...

    Advice for a Soldier

    David Go Mechanical, depending on his MOS he may be able to get Uncle Sam to pay him to go to school if he wants to stay in the military. I'm sure there would be a reenlistment requirement but after college he would have a big foot in the door at proving grounds and military design centers...

    metal cut program

    do you mean like: how many 1.5 foot pieces of strap can I get out of a 20' stick of strap? 20/1.5=13.33 drop the .33 and you get 13 whole pieces. Am I missing something?

    Profit Margins?

    Well, I don't deal with large construction proects, but I have a quote that, in a way, guides my quoting process for product designs and machinery. I wish I knew the source but here it is: * Ok, say you are an eye glass salesman and the customer asks you how much it is going to cost to get his...

    Looking for CFD to go with Pro/E

    I'm looking for a CFD package that is integrated into Pro/E such that optomization can be done on the models. The application is for high pressure low duration (very much not steady state) gas volume releases. As transient as bullets leaving barrels and the gas released behind them. Any...
