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
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
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
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."
