    What is the required force to achieve constant radius beam bending?

    Hi All, I need to calculate how much force is required to bend a beam to a constant radius. The beam will be simply supported on both ends and the force will be applied much like a 3 point bend but with a curved face instead of a single point. For most of my application, the beams are...

    Water Skin Effect in Plastic Pipe

    I need to Calculate the Skin Effect of water in a tube of X Diameter or Surface Area... The length of the Flow in the pipe would be 200 mm. I know that is short but it matters in this instance. The pressure of the water would be around 15 bar. I will post the flow rate through the pipe as soon...

    What is the required force to bend a rod into a horseshoe shape?

    The bend should be ( I have not checked all diameters of rod ) elastic. I appreciate all the input as I am no expert in this area but I am studying on it to complete this calculation. In the end I hope to enter a formula into excel to calculate the force required based on the diameter of the...

    What is the required force to bend a rod into a horseshoe shape?

    I believe for the diameter I am looking at bending around the bend will be entirely or mostly elastic (depending on the diameter of the rod)... I will research the stress strain tables further though... are there any calculations for an elastic bend? thanks for the help

    What is the required force to bend a rod into a horseshoe shape?

    I need to calculate the force necessary to bend a rod 180 degrees around a radius of 1.75 meters. Basically bending the rod into a horseshoe. I have looked at the simple bending calculations and I am sure this must be similar to those but I do not see anything for a constant radius bend. Any...

    Bending around sheave or pulley

    This Calculation looks promising but it does not calculate the moment... and it is calculating for sheet metal... trying to tie this back to rod and pipe calculations and make it correct? I do like the simplicity but I am not sure if this could be changed to calculate for rod or pipe. I do...

    Bending around sheave or pulley

    I think you understand what I am trying to achieve... I understand what you are saying about the actual bending of the cable... How would you go about calculating this... if it is possible... Is there an accurate way to calculate this? However this is figured it must be converted back to a...

    Bending around sheave or pulley

    I agree with the description of applied force... I hope this will help clarify what I am trying to calculate. This could be thought of upside down with a weight attached to one end of the cable... how much weight applied in a straight direction to bend the cable around the pulley. The Pulley is...

    Bending around sheave or pulley

    I need to calculate how much tension it would require to bend large insulated cable of various sizes around a pulley. The Conductor would be made of aluminum or copper and solid. The Insulation would be of various thicknesses depending on the cable. I was looking at breeaking this problem down...
