I look for expansion anchors to hold metals together, from 1/4" to 3/4" dia. I knew one manufacturer Simplied Building (http://www.simplifiedbuilding.com/box_bolt.php). Their BoxBolt is really quite good but so expensive, $7 - $34 each. Can anyone recommend other expansion anchor manufacturers...
I am looking for some books related to mechanical connection and interlock design. Could anyone recommend any book particularly to introduce these kind of design in very detail.
Thanks,
I am designing a composite I-beam: two aluminum T-shape flanges with short double stems and flat fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) sheet as web. The FRP web will insert to the narrow channel between the double stems. I am thinking using circular punch 2-3" O.C. to connect the FRP web to...
What factors affect the thermal performance of fiberglass reinforced plastic sheets? Which factor has most impact on the thermal performance? Thanks for any advice.
I am looking for a fiberglass reinforced polymer/plastic sheet about 0.085" and 0.125" thick but with lower thermal conductivity than common FRP sheets. Does anyone know any FRP manufacturer has this kind of product available? For example, typical FRP sheets have a thermal conductance of 0.19...
Does anyone know any references about the design of composite aluminum and fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) I-beams? For example, the flanges are aluminum and the web is FRP. Particularly, what ratio of web height to thickness of the web should be used to resist local web buckling? 25? 20...
