    Free Body Diagram - Ball and Socket (both ends)

    Good day fellow Engineers, A co-worker and I are having a discussion about a ball and socket mechanical joint. He says the reason for a ball joint is so the ball can move freely, and the socket force load is ALWAYS normal to the center of the socket (cup). So, he says to set up a FBD. So, I was...

    ANSYS Mechanical and Max Cores

    Hello good people, I have a question about ANSYS Mechanical. Let's assume I have unlimited HPC packs available to me, and 80 cores on my PC. I was told after a certain number of cores on ANSYS Mechanical the solver does not improve performance (or return solver time) in fact it has...

    Position vs Runout

    Hi all, I need some help clarifying position vs runout. We have a drawing that has a hole in a round part. We call out |RUNOUT|0.010|A| where A is the outside centerline. I want to convert runout to position (position is directional and runout is not), so therefore; it will look like...

    Thermal Displacement - Bushing into a Housing

    Hello All, I want to calculate the thermal displacement of a pressed fit bushing into a housing. If using the area equation calculation using the equation: A_f = A(1+2(alpha*delta_T). Where, A_f = Final area A = Current area Should I use the cross sectional area of the bushing (I think this is...

    Area Constant (k_a)

    Hello all, I am trying to find the acceleration of the closing of an armature on a solenoid driven injector. I am using the reference Magnetic Actuators and Sensors, 2nd edition by John R. Brauer. The author states the equation for acceleration equation is: a=P*(pi*(k_a)*(R_p)^2)/(density of...

    Solenoid Design

    Hello all, I want to design a Solenoid for a new project and I am looking for a good reference book/text book on magnetism. I have a current design and want to back out the magnetic force required. Does anyone know a good electromagnetism book? I have seen a few examples on the web and they all...
