    Power transmission with belts at extreme temperatures?

    I am a student. We are working on a design project, and long story short, we need to transmit power on the moon. We have decided on a gear system but still need to transmit from the gear output to the axles, and were considering v-belts. Does a belt exist that could operate in such extreme...

    Why Does Shear Increase with Distance in Torque-Shear Calculations?

    For some reason I am having a hard time visualizing the torque-shear equation, specifically when it comes to finding shear in rivet patterns with a non-symmetric load. We have been using the Tr/J formula to find the shear in the individual bolts. However, with this equation with increasing...
