Im building a project for my racecar
Blowers are to be affixed on fabricated metal plates mounted at various points on the engine
As they turn, the blowers have a preset amount of resistance so they will attempt to flex the plates
If they flex too much, catastrophic failure can result
My question is how should I go about stress testing this design along specific constraints
Is there a good tutorial for this venture? Not necessarily automotive, but encompassing the basic concepts involved
