What is stiffness factor?

the stiffness of a vehicle structure in a crash

What is the application of Circlips in engineering?

Circlips are using to retain components in assemblies. They are perfect replacement to a nut-bolt-washer combination often used in many engineering applications. In their application they help eliminate weight by simply cutting a groove and adding the ring in replacement of the nut-bolt-washer. They are used as a permanent shoulder to hold components together such as a drive shaft. They are also used as spacers between gears such as in an automotive/truck transmission

What is an oil galley?

Oil "galley" is a misspelling of the term oil "gallery." An oil gallery is an internal passageway in the block of an automobile engine that conducts oil to key components such as the main bearings.

How does the bucket on a dump truck work?

The dump truck contains a hydraulically power controlled cylinder that expands as fluid is injected, resulting in the "dump" trailer lifting from the frame of the vehicle. This system is referred to as a PTO, or Power Take-Off.

Do you use cast iron or steel for claw hammers?

claw hammer is a tool and hence tool steel can be a good choice.

How do you improve the density of cast explosive?

By writing your name address and phone number on each and every piece of the device.

Is stainless steel a nonporous surface?

Yes, we generally consider stainless steel to be a nonporous surface.

What is definition of transverse shear?

Look it

The shearing action/force which takes place in y-direction(transverse dirn.)is known as transverse shear...........

What is degree of freedom of a plate element?

two rotations (out of plane) and one displacement (out of plane)

What is a stone axe?

A handle, traditionally wooden, with some sort of sharp object fastened to it, in this case a stone.

What jobs use combination pulleys?

Tree trimming uses combination pulleys. Also combination pulleys are used to lift engines out of cars to work on them. Some construction sites use them in places they cannot get a crane.

How does a well pulley work?

It works much more effectively, and with greater dedication,

focus, and commitment, than an ailing pulley does.

When was the Centrepoint Tower built?

The Sydney Tower (known as the Centrepoint Tower and also by a few other names) was begun in 1970 and completed in 1981.

Can a welder qualified for Stainless Steel Grade SS-304 material can do welding of SS-316 material?

The answer is "YES".

ASME IX allows a welder qualified on base metal P(or S) number 1 to 11 to weld P1 to 11.

Please refer to ASME IX QW-423.

Hope this helps.

What happens when reamer rotates backwards?

The reamer will be dull soon. It shurely happens after ~ 3 reverse turns due to friction of metal chips (back angle of reamer's blade does not cut).

It is very difficult to physically destroy an reamer by such way but there are 3 problems:

1. Dull reamer will "scrap" instead of "cut". Surface will be more rough and hole will be more inaccurate (bad roundness).

2. You HAVE to re-gring dull reamer to sharp its blades.

3. Re-grinded reamer will have smaller diameter - reamer will be inaccurate and inappropriate soon.

Example:

Typical diameter of new (metric) 10H8(+0,022) reamer is 10(+0,01;+0,015).

Diameter of re-grinded reamer will be 10(+0,005;+0,01). After next re-grinding reamer will be 10+0,005 , next time 9,995+0,005, next time 9,99+0,005, 9,985+0,005 and so on.

Reamer marked 10H8 with outer diameter 9,99+0,005 is inappropriate(9,995 is _smaller_ than 10. IT IS VERY BAD due to possible fit error).

How do you get the best weld penetration?

1) By maintaining appropriate gap between electrode and work.

2) By selection of suitable current value.

3) By choosing the right travel speed.
