Thanks for your help, the design is a column - unsupported sides. Both ends are clamped (fixed) and the force is concentric (800N). I can work out the critical buckling force but have found little guidance as to work out the max deflection at a force lower than critical. Roark and Young and a...
Hi,
I am trying to work out the deflection of a plate when at a certain loading force. There are a number of end conditions so a general formual would be much appreciated.
The plate is 3mm x 410mm in cross section and then 1640mm long. The load is appled to the top the far end is definately...
