AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on flange coupling design, referencing Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design as a key source. Participants seek clarification on safety factors related to failure costs and inquire about available design tables or codes. There is confusion regarding the specific type of flange being discussed, whether for pipe junctions or drive shaft couplings. Additionally, questions arise about relevant text sections and considerations for shock or impulse factors in the design. The conversation highlights the need for precise information and resources in mechanical design.

TL;DR Summary
Our teacher finned me 30 point for assuming a safety factor2.5for flange design, is it ok to assume a safety factor?
Our source book is shiegly if somone answer i hope he give me yhe source of his infortmation

Welcome to PF.

The safety factor may increase with the cost of a failure.
Are there code or design tables available, where ?

I assume 'shiegly' is;
Shigley's. Mechanical Engineering Design. 10th Edition. 2015.
By Richard G. Budynas and J. Keith Nisbett.

Do you refer to a flange for a pipe junction, a drive shaft coupling, RSJ, or something else ?
What part of the text covers the subject.
 
Is there a shock / impulse / snatch factor to consider ??
 

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
