I was looking for the above thread where I had made an inquiry into getting into aircraft maintenance. Holy cow, that was over 20 years ago!
20 years, three continents, 4 layoffs, and a whole lot of gray hair later, here I am at my 'dream job' finally: Doing structural repairs...
Mike and Berkshire, thank you very much for your replies.
Mike,
I was going by what the narrator of the video was saying about how 'cutting and stamping the product information is done at the same time(words to that effect)'. This is why I assumed that the shearing blade itself somehow had an...
Hello all,
I am searching for a solution for an operation that requires the shearing of a sheet of steel into smaller segments and stamping the product information on to it.
Right now the way the operation is carried out requires the guys to stack the smaller sheet segments and then moving it...
Guys,
Seems like an asinine question (not that that stopped me before), but what are your views on an old dog learning new tricks? Can someone from a design background (or any other such as Quality) actually change positions and go into Stress and make it? More importantly, would any sane...
Crackman, Prost and Composite Stress,
Thanks for the efforts in putting the solutions out there.
Crackman, can't believe that you old school blokes had solution manuals ;-) ("Solution manuals? We don't need no darn solution manuals, those are for sissies. Back in my day we ground out the...
Thank you for the notes Crackman. Even if its not as detailed as Bruhn, it gives quite an insight into the background of the engineering fundementals knowledge expected of a liaison engineer, or for that matter any engineer involved with aircraft structures. The course outline for the...
Hello all,
Very interesting and useful topic. Crackman, thank you for the tips. If its not too much trouble, may I have a copy of that PDF file on the stress course emailed to me? I am about to sign up also for the correspondance course by the Lake City Publishing group (Based on the Stress...
Thank you Dalacazar, I decided to go with your suggestion and ordered the book through Amazon uk. Took a while for the delivery, which is why this response is late.It looks like the book fits my requirement. Now if I can fit it in my carry-on luggage and not be over the weight limit, that will...
Thank you for the book recommendation Bandraoi.I will try to get a copy of it soon. Yeah amazon uk seems to be the best bet for me.
Hotgas, I am mainly interested in Municipal solid waste. Other than a basic knowledge of the field, I am also interested in looking at it from a design engineering...
Sorry people, I did not mean to sound lazy, I did look through this forum to see if there were already threads on books, but could not find any.I did see a lot of books on Amazon.com by doing a search but I wanted to make sure I am buying something useful before paying for it. I am currently in...
Hey Guys,
I have a mechanical/aerospace background and currently work as a contract designer. Bouncing from place to place is not something I would like to do for the rest of my life, and I would eventually like to start something of my own. A field that has caught my interest is waste...
Lawrence Kamm's book "Real World Engineering" is pretty educational. Lots of sage advice in there from a highly successful inventor/engineer. Somebody mentioned "The Soul of a New Machine". Read that a long long time ago, and I really wish I could read it again.
Peebee...
Hey guys,
Thank you all for taking the time to help me out. Sorry I was so late in replying. Yeah looks like I will be heading to Canada towards March of next year.So let's see how it will turn out. I'm pretty excited though.
Ryan Broglie: thanks for the offer to find info on the Canadian...
Aspearin,
Thank you for the idea, the only problem with washing is that Coconut fibers absorb a lot of water. However its good to know that static electric charging can cause significant change in fiber adhering qualities. can you tell me what other mechanisms that hold the fiber together...
