Do you really need the through axles on your trucks? It lowers the stresses, and it doesn’t really matter… I love my Calibers, they are basic, wide spread in…
Continue ReadingThis will complicate your structure design. But fatigue failure is important. Can you break your structure without reaching the failure stress? Wait, what? Did I fudge you on…
Continue ReadingBolts are tiny, compared to the bigger structure, and still the loads need to go through. Bolted joints are capable of transferring moments and forces, but the bolts are better…

Continue ReadingAren’t you sick of rectangular examples? I know I’m. Dealing with simple decks which have rectangular cross section makes perfect sense. And it’s simple – ideal to understand the…
Continue ReadingYou can 3d print your parts and use them safely in the real world. Just check the loads and design with the failure stress in mind, adjusted for a proper…
Continue ReadingBending stresses or direct forces – what kills you faster? I’ve mentioned this in the previous post, also there’s this safety factor thing. Let’s see what it’s all about.…
Continue ReadingStarting with rectangular beam in stresses is like writing “hello world” in coding. You’ve got your loads, now what? It’s time to finish your design! A life fact…
Continue ReadingImagine your esk8 floating in the air with arrows poking at it. Weird, but it’s exactly what’s needed to calculate the loads. Make sure to catch the full picture,…
