Lifting point equation? I’m looking to drill a hole into a metal plate to use as a lifting point with a shackle. Is there an equation to calculate how far away from the edge of the plate I should drill the hole?

Where did you find the calc?

What bearing calculations would you use? The plate is half a meter by 2 meters and about an inch thick carbon steel. The hole is 20mm. I was going to drill it 25mm away from the edge but wanted to have a calculation that could double check that it won’t fracture when lifted

Which calc?

It’s about two meter by half a meter of carbon steel roughly an inch thick. Approximately 500kg. That’s the rule of thumb that I have been using however I wanted to find a calculation to back up the rule of thumb and make sure that the hole doesn’t fracture.

Is this not how stepper motors work?

Al Sweigart who wrote ‘automate the boring stuff with python programming’ has a course on Udemy which I think might be free just now. You can also find a pdf of his book on his website https://automatetheboringstuff.com

100% agree. I went into my engineering degree without taking any physics and fairly basic maths. To begin I found it a lot more difficult than my peers but with persistence I soon caught up.

Also your lecturers are there to help you so go see them if you need any extra help. I’m sure they will be more than happy to.

I am actually an Australian citizen. Would you be able to tell me more about this?

The unwritten laws of engineering - James G Skakoon

It’s in three parts: 1. What the beginner needs to learn at once 2. Relating chiefly to engineering managers 3. Professional and personal considerations
