    Curved cantilever type beam (Cessna 150 Landing gear) Finite Element Calculations

    Cheers Guyz (rb1957 and Aerodesign). Much appreciated with all the detailed knowledge proposed and shared. The hand calculation is chosen is just to have an understanding of the structural behavior. If i would have to take assumptions, to simplify things, can i take the beam and straight rather...

    Curved cantilever type beam (Cessna 150 Landing gear) Finite Element Calculations

    rb1957 Thanks for that knowledge. With not having any FEA application experience, i am trying to look at theoretical approach of matrices rather than modelling and simulating it. I am sure you will be aware of this formula, Force = [(Area * Modulus of elasticity)/Length]*nodal displacement...

    Curved cantilever type beam (Cessna 150 Landing gear) Finite Element Calculations

    The main purpose of such study is to chose the type of strain gauge would be needed and where it should be bonded on the structure to be tested. There will be tension, compression taking place at different location and probably there might be some other forces, which will be acting in 2 or even...

    Curved cantilever type beam (Cessna 150 Landing gear) Finite Element Calculations

    Actually, i do have everything to start off my dynamic testing, i have got NI Data acquisition hardware with labview software to calculate the stress staright. But to start with the practical approach, i wanted to learn about how the load or even stress distributes over such a type initially...

    Curved cantilever type beam (Cessna 150 Landing gear) Finite Element Calculations

    I have downloaded the software but i am unable to find any worksheet for the sort of work i am looking for. If you find a link, would be much appreciate for posting in here. thanks

    Curved cantilever type beam (Cessna 150 Landing gear) Finite Element Calculations

    The image shown as an attachment with this post is the actual front view of the landing gear of Cessna 150. I am working on a project to calculate the stress and strain acting on the cantilever type variable cross-section beam. After dividing into 8 sections/elements, the dimensions have been...
