AI Thread Summary
ASME is recognized as a valuable resource for research, particularly through its trade journals such as the Journal of Turbomachinery and Journal of Heat Transfer. Users find it challenging to navigate the vast amount of information available, making it hard to identify relevant sources. In addition to ASME, the AIAA is noted for its research materials, although it focuses specifically on aerospace applications. Many researchers utilize school databases but are encouraged to explore additional standard organizations for comprehensive information. Overall, ASME and AIAA are highlighted as significant resources for academic research in engineering fields.

I has occurred to me that when I go to research, I would first like to survey the research that has already been done in that particular area.

Does anyone have any experience with ASME in this regard? Or possibly with other organizations?

I use the databases that I have access to at school, but I thought maybe there were some others out there that are 'the standard'.

Thanks,
Casey

Like any large organization, the tough part is knowing where to look. ASME/SAE has some great information sources. Most notably are their trade journals like Journal of Turbomachinery, Journal of Heat Transfer (to name a couple) are really good sources.

Like I mentioned, the problem is that there are so many out there it is tough to know what exists and where to look.

I have also found AIAA a good source for research material. But that is really pretty specific to aerospace applications.

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
