The chassis is assumed to be a sealed .05" thick 5052 AL...
Hello, I have a rod of two different diameters and I'm trying to find the stress concentration at the chamfer between the two diameters. I understand how to find the stress concentration factor, K, if the joint was a fillet (using r/d and D/d to find K in the appropriate table). However I can't...
Mech. Engineer: Thank you so much! It's been a while since I've had to run numbers like this and everything you said clicked into place, aided by the great example Garvin supplied. Completely makes sense now where I was thinking about it wrong and how to go about solving it. The equivalent...
Thank you for the input, however I am not concerned in the thread or it's engagement into the mounting surface. I know the 1/4-28 holds fine (based on previous shake tests to a similar product). The issue is that the mounting fastener needed the diameter of the shank above the thread reduced and...
Hello all, I need some desperate help. I have a product that is mounted on four corners with 1/4-28 bolts with a shank diameter of .25. The product is mounted to a vibe table and shaken at 20g in each of the three axis. I am currently analyzing the stresses induced in the fasteners in order to...
