Where it gets complicated is in designing for fatigue life, but a machined window seat will not be an issue. Fatigue life will be dominated by your weld details.

I think you are correct. At least those are the issues I'm concerned about. Avoiding the ring snapping (oh dear that would be bad), or the stress on the outer (vertical part of the L cross section) causing the inner (horizontal part of the L cross section) surface to deform and cause stress points on the Acryilic. If you find it in your book, let me know which book you are using and I'll buy a copy. Over the years I've spend so much on books and standards, and still don't feel I have a complete library by an stretch. Even if it was kind of expensive, being able to buy these in a bundle (or something, maybe a series) would have been very useful and probably saved me money. Cheers, Ian.
