Hi all,
I would like to know if the elastic deflection equation for transverse bending loadings : dy^2/dx^2=Mf(x)/EI is valid for any beam dimensions.
The Beer Handbook Mechanics of Materials says it is valid for any cross section. However, is it valid for thin-walled beams? Dimensions like L=1...
Hi All,
I am an entry level engineer, and I am doing FEM analysis in the company I work in. I am analyzing rectangular tubes in static analysis. I am doing a linear analysis, with linear material properties. However, if I do a non-linear analysis, the results are quite different. The...
