Is there a place to get engineering information without hiring an engineer? Joint strength for example if I bolt 2 pieces of material using a fastener how strong will the joint be? I will be more specific but really I am wanting to learn how to find the info. I want to fasten some 6061 T6 extrusion together to make a right angle or possibly a "T" shape. I am working on a new part for my business and available extrusions are not working for my application.I would like to fasten the pieces together but I would like to know what kind of strength I will get so I can decide if this is a viable design. I am looking at Fastening .375" thick 6061 T6 flat bar together using #10-24 machine screws. I know the length of the pieces will come into play as the leverage will add more stress to the joint.
Thanks for any help.
