Correction: The applied uniform loading will actually be 76 lbs. I wanted to see how much the cover would deflect/bend. Don't want big deflection because it will affect the signal.
The cover is pretty thin (less than .070 inches). A gasket will be used between the cover and the housing, and it will have a compression that is equivalent to 580 psi. Just imagine that it's a rectangular cover that will be on top of a rectangular box/housing. I want to determine how many bolts...
Hi! I'm designing a cover that will be held down by several bolts onto the housing. I want to measure the deflection of the aluminum cover after the bolts are torqued. To simplify, I'm trying to use the beam deflection equation between 2 bolts, but confused if I should use treat the bolts as...
Hi! I'm designing a rf cover with a gasket and want to know the minimum distance between the bolts. Is it 10 or 25% of the wavelength of the highest frequency?
