The predominant...
Thanks for the pointers
BAretired - I think 2T/wD would be the projected stress as an average across the diameter? The peak stress would be in the center diminishing to 0, perhaps a circular function, or parabolic I would imagine?
Ron, yes this seems a good assumption, so essentially put an...
Hi
Does anybody know of an equation/reference for the contact stress distribution found between a flat strap web lifting sling around a circular section, (contacting half the circumference). I need to calculate the contact stress for the material is very delicate and don't wish to crush when...
