Intially I see just testing the bracket for a baseline of what the metal *should* endure with the position of all of the bolt holes.
Next would be to do it all over again in the assembly (i.e. the LCA and other parts to really simulate what is going on here).
I've done a good amount of FEA analysis before so I should be ok to give us a decent answer on this; however, to ease the fears that my skills might come short...I have in house 2 FEA gurus that do nothing all day long but test the forces/stress/strain etc... on sub-oceanic ROVs all day long. I'm pretty sure we can get a *good* number.  |
Sweet! You definitely sound like you know what you're doing then! I can't wait!
