Will Adding Material Make My Piece Stronger Against Rotational Force?

AI Thread Summary
Adding material to a piece can enhance its strength against horizontal rotational forces, particularly in critical areas. The focus should be on reinforcing the thin section between the hole and the top radius, as this is a potential weak point. While additional material may improve overall strength, it's essential to assess the specific load distribution and force directions involved. Careful consideration of the design and material placement is necessary to ensure effective reinforcement. Ultimately, strategic modifications can lead to improved durability against rotational stresses.

I'm trying to decide whether to add material to my piece in this location and if it will make it stronger.
The piece is attached to a plate and will experience a horizontal rotational force. Will adding that extra piece in the design make it stronger?

I would be more concerned about strengthening the thin section between the hole and the top radius on the component .

I'll have to look into that as well, but there shouldn't be much force in that direction.

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
