AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on flange coupling design, referencing Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design as a key source. Participants seek clarification on safety factors related to failure costs and inquire about available design tables or codes. There is confusion regarding the specific type of flange being discussed, whether for pipe junctions or drive shaft couplings. Additionally, questions arise about relevant text sections and considerations for shock or impulse factors in the design. The conversation highlights the need for precise information and resources in mechanical design.

TL;DR Summary
Our teacher finned me 30 point for assuming a safety factor2.5for flange design, is it ok to assume a safety factor?
Our source book is shiegly if somone answer i hope he give me yhe source of his infortmation
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Welcome to PF.

The safety factor may increase with the cost of a failure.
Are there code or design tables available, where ?

I assume 'shiegly' is;
Shigley's. Mechanical Engineering Design. 10th Edition. 2015.
By Richard G. Budynas and J. Keith Nisbett.

Do you refer to a flange for a pipe junction, a drive shaft coupling, RSJ, or something else ?
What part of the text covers the subject.
 
Is there a shock / impulse / snatch factor to consider ??
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
