Mechanical design -- What is the part shown in the drawing?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on understanding the strengths of different types of welds in a mechanical design context, specifically convex, concave, and mitre welds on a lap joint. The key point highlighted is the importance of the effective throat, which influences the weld's strength and stress distribution. Participants suggest that the third type of weld appears stronger at first glance, but further investigation is necessary to grasp the implications of the effective throat. The thread emphasizes the need for proper categorization of schoolwork questions to facilitate learning. The discussion concludes with a reminder to use the appropriate forums for academic inquiries.

They are convex, concave and mitre (or straight) welds on a lap joint.
The most important difference is the effective throat.

This should give you some search terms for your textbooks/lecture notes/Google.
 
Less sharp edges, less stress load. I would say 3rd one is more strong at first glance.

You need to do a bit more investigation as to why the above prior post statement is important.

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...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
