Design of Lugs

Design of Lugs A pragmatic and cost-effective approach to material selection and testing using Data Items ESDU 91008 (Strength of lugs under axial load), ESDU 06021 (Strength of lugs under transverse load) and ESDU 08007 (Strength of lugs under oblique load).

Bath-Tub Fittings

Bath-Tub Fittings Having ESDU Data Items to re-design cracked bath-tub fittings cited in FAA directive "saves company over a million dollars" according to a Senior Engineer.

An example of the use of Data Item ESDU 84039, "Strength of angles and club-foot fittings (transmitting tensile loads)"

ESDU Design Methods for Nuclear Engineers

ESDU Design Methods for Nuclear Engineers The nuclear renaissance is spawning renewed interest in finding the most efficient, reliable and effective ways to build, operate, and eventually decommission environmentally safe nuclear facilities. Because of this, there is increasing pressure on nuclear engineers to address issues related to thermo-hydraulics, structural and mechanical design, ventilation systems, noise suppression and environmental impact within the targets set by the latest international standards and codes.

Jet Engine and Fan Noise

Jet Engine and Fan Noise An example of the use of Data Item ESDU 98019, "Computer-based estimation procedure for single-stream jet noise. Including far-field, static jet mixing noise database for circular nozzles."
