2 topics across all disciplines.
Gearboxes and couplings — the parts between the driver and the machine
Why a service factor is not padding, what a coupling is actually for beyond joining two shafts, why a flexible coupling does not forgive misalignment, and the failures that show up in the gearbox but started somewhere else.
Threaded fasteners and torque
What a bolt actually does, how property classes 8.8, 10.9 and 12.9 are defined, why most of the torque you apply never reaches the joint, and why angle and yield control exist at all.
