I was loking for soemone to talk to about some structral weigth loads on suspension. If you know anything let me know.

 

Are you talking about a car?

If you're gonna talk to an engineer, stating the problem is a helpful skill.

 

Well I had some questions about stress and weight loads of suspension and wanted a professionals opinion.

 

Let me help you here:

1) Tittle: make it specific to a Mechanical Engineer. Why? because I'm a real engineer (as so you put it) but I can't help you. It's not my field. Also if an ME see it they are more likely to click on your thread since it's in their field.

2) Thoroughly ask the question right off the bat. The person that clicked on your thread is already in "I'm gonna help" mood. Take advantage of it because they may not feel the same way later. Or just plainly be annoyed by the way this thread is going.

3) It's annoying. Real engineers? What are you holding job interviews??? I'm not flaming. I'm just trying to help you get your answers but that's exactly what I thought when I saw your thread. So I'm sure I wasn't the only one that thought that.

People may still very likely come in and help you, but in the future you can maximize your replies by following steps 1 & 2.

 

Montego, sorry yes I am looking for a machanical engineer not a structural engineer.

 

Going one step further, most mechanical engineers don't really know squat about vehicle dynamics either. So, you need to ask for "automobile chassis/suspension engineers"....

 

I'm a mech eng student. Does that count? I've taken all sorts of statics and dynamics classes, so I can probably help. Whats your question?

 

arg....statics and dynamics.....too many free body diagrams

 

hahahaha I remember those. ditto on Montego's comments... I'm an Engineer but will not be able to help you because I'm NOT that kind of engineer. I'm an S.E. (sanitation, no but sometimes feels that way)

Thats just because you are

 

You're a **** King, Admit it !

Yeah and this thread is also in the wrong forum too.

 

We better watch out. Our Belligerance is spilling out of the West Section

 

 

If you really need an Engineer with automotive structual experience you might try searching for Engineering forums.

FU: I'm not .... why are you looking for a BF again?

D: ME or FU. I'm the **** king FU is the **** king

 

I'm a mech eng student as well. What do you need?

 

This thread has been officially Belligeranced!!!
