Mechanical design -- What is the part shown in the drawing?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on understanding the strengths of different types of welds in a mechanical design context, specifically convex, concave, and mitre welds on a lap joint. The key point highlighted is the importance of the effective throat, which influences the weld's strength and stress distribution. Participants suggest that the third type of weld appears stronger at first glance, but further investigation is necessary to grasp the implications of the effective throat. The thread emphasizes the need for proper categorization of schoolwork questions to facilitate learning. The discussion concludes with a reminder to use the appropriate forums for academic inquiries.

Hello guys. In the picture below can u help me with the problems! I cannot understand what exactly should I comment about the strengths. I t would be easier if it was asking about the types of welding :) . Please give some help! Thanks in advance!

They are convex, concave and mitre (or straight) welds on a lap joint.
The most important difference is the effective throat.

This should give you some search terms for your textbooks/lecture notes/Google.
 
Less sharp edges, less stress load. I would say 3rd one is more strong at first glance.

You need to do a bit more investigation as to why the above prior post statement is important.

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
