I see that it is backwards, thank you for pointing that out.

Well it was quite a go around, not getting straight answers so in the end I made a little model with a couple of bathroom scales, a pull scale, some weights, a pulley and some blocks to see what actually happens with the various loads. noenegdod what you have described is exactly what the scales...

Sorry not to get back to you sooner. Seems that this is a rather intractable problem. I have asked a couple on engineering friends and they also are not sure which way it should be. The answer seems to be that if there is no deflection in the plate either way will work. If there is deflection...

I will get back to you next year or tomorrow, whichever comes first. Ha Ha Have a nice evening and Good New Year!

Only part of my message was posted! What a nuisance. In this particular case of two cells side by side and a force of 1320 pounds or 12 pounds per square inch being brought to bear on the plate (and thereby the cells) and there was 6 bolt/springs distributing that force; what would be the...

I suspect I am not very clear in describing my lack of understanding. I think if you have two rows of cells side by side and a plate covering both of them and each row needs 660 pounds of force then the plate covering both cell rows would need 1320 pounds of force. I think we agree on that? I...

I have read through this thread (and a few others on the "clamping" issue) and this way of distributing the load on the cell faces has me the most puzzled. It was mentioned by noenegdod but there doesn't seem to have been any discussion about it. My understanding is that if you have one EVE...
