I working on something similar to a laminar flow gate , just very thin relative to the size of the part (~6 in x 12in x 0.2 in). The interior mesh walls are also very thin ~0.010". I'm looking for an optimal lattice structure that could give the best structural integrity, especially against...

I am looking for any references about 2-dimensional lattice structures (ie hexagonal like graphine) that have the highest shear strength (or just resistance to distortion in the 2D plane). Does anybody have any good references for this?

Recently, I was calculating the volume of a sphere with a hole through the center. I started thinking, what if the hole was off-center by some distance e. I have searched high and low and can not find anything on this situation. I have tried calculating, but after the second integral, I can not...

Yes, that is exactly right. I am wrapping the table around the cone, and trying to find the minimum radius that remains tangent to the line contact of the cone. Does anyone know of any existing equations for that, or do I just need to drudge through it, and derive it?

If I have a 45° right-angle cone and I place it on a table on the conical surface (not the base), there should be a line-contact along the cone (the table is tangent to the conical surface). The table can be seen as a cylinder with an infinite radius, so, my question is, what is the minimum...
