I would like to calculate the force that a extension spring makes to a tube when is wrapped on it. Imagine a circular tube where you wrap a extension spring so it remains tensed up, pressing the tube surface like a clamp.
So I would like to calculate the force (knowing the K of the spring) that the spring makes on the tube walls.
Actually the tube is not circular but has a "hippodrome" secction, so in the "flat" zones of the hippodrome the spring does not make any clampling force. So I would like to study different tube sections in order to optimize it.
Thanks in advance!
