Hello,
I am doing some calcs for a machine that uses a hydraulic cylinder, and I cannot find the Euler effective coefficient for the boundary condition as follows:
Both ends guided translationally plus one end being hinged/pivoted/pinned/whatever notation you use. One end is of course the piston in the cylinder (and the front gland bushing) and then the other end has an end effector with some float . Not quite guided but not free either; maybe I should just conservatively call this end free and not pinned.
Also, what would it be for guided/guided (if I removed the float at the end effector) and I treated it like a quasi-static condition?
No rotational locking.
Thank you in advance.
