    Need help on gear train problem MDM practice

    Hey 562, i'm not sure if you're still in need of some help with this one, but here goes anyway: One of the keys here is that the velocities of B and D are the same (both tangential and rotational).  Because the ring gear is fixed, the velocity of gear B center is r(b)*w(b).  Per the diagram...

    Current Quality of ME PE Review Courses and Materialls

    I think I was in jean15's session with Dr. Tom back in 2018.  I'd be interested to know how things are done now that CBT has taken the place of pencil/paper.  I put a fair amount of work in on Dr. Tom's lessons and I may have referenced my binders 4 times during the entire test.  After his 20...

    I need some guidance on the Machine design and Materials PE exam!

    I don't know about ct, but it is just a long day.  I had no clue if I had passed when I walked out.  Some questions are gonna come at you and seem like a little out of left field.  I guess when I left and the many days afterward, I just tended to focus on those problems instead of the ones I...

    I need some guidance on the Machine design and Materials PE exam!

    I don't know what my score was, but I tend to think the lowest passing score was mine back in October  :winko:

    Cone Cluch problem

    I'm trying to visualize this in my head, but I'm thinking the angle would be arctan(.5/2.25).  Try that and see if you get the correct answer.

    When You Should Add PE After Your Name

    I'm in OK.  I'm sure they are swamped with processing new licensees.  I just happened to take the law & engineering exam the next day after getting the result notice.  I guess that's why I got my license number in one of the early groups.

    Annealing of an old ASME coded pressure vessel

    NACE will limit hardness to 22 HRC pretty much across the board, which lines up with your company standards of ~235 HBW.  I typically deal with NACE MR0175 & NACE MR0103.

    Annealing of an old ASME coded pressure vessel

    How old is the vessel?  Wondering if maybe a stress relieve treatment would suffice instead of full on annealing/normalizing.  Any records on the heat treatment history?  One thing I've found in multi-step heat treatments is that a lot of scale can build up.

    Oklahoma is in

    At one point, i could have sworn we had a "After the PE Exam" subforum.  Anybody know where that went? Oh, and I completely forgot to get that pass pic up.  Well, for good measure:

    Problem 125 from NCEES practice exam

    Also notice that the area, A, of the bolt will cancel out of the shear stress due to torsion equation and not affect the shear force (which makes sense).  That looks to be the way the NCEES solution did it.  Since the bolts all have the same area and same distance from centroid, J = Nr^2A (Where...

    I also laugh my ass off every time I see "Mama" and the avatar.  Alligators are angry cause they have all dem teeth and no toothbrush!

    Next Steps

    I had to take a law & engineering exam after reading board rules and state statutes.  That's out of the way now, so should have my packet in a week or two.  Then...

    Machine Design & Materials Oct 2018

    Way to go!  Looking forward to those lessons learned.  I'll probably add to it in hopes of helping others who might be taking on this beast in April.
