    Bend Steel
In summary, the conversation discusses the determination of whether a bar with increased length and loads will bend. The original configuration was made of 1018 steel, 1 3/8 dia, and 7.8" long with 480 lbs at one end and supported by bearings at 2 locations 4.68" and 7.8" away. The new configuration is made of the same material and diameter but is 12" long with 1460 lbs at one end and supported by bearings at 2 locations 8.9" and 12" away. The bending moment for this new configuration is 1082 ft*lbs, with a yield strength of 53700 psi and a YTS of 638

I need some help determining if a bar with increased length and loads is going to bend. The original length and loads were 1018 steel, 1 3/8 dia, 7.8" long with 480 lbs at one end and being supported with bearings at 2 locations 4.68" and 7.8" away.
The new configuration is 1018 steel, 1 3/8 dia. 12" long with 1460 lbs at one end and being supported with bearing at 2 locations 8.9" and 12" away.

I took 1460 lbs * 8.9 inch to get a bending moment of 1082 ft*lbs
The YTS is 63800 psi and the yield strength is 53700 psi.

Do I take the cross section area of 1.484 inch ^2 and multiply the yield strength. Then add a safety factor?

1. What is the 1018 steel bar bend problem?

The 1018 steel bar bend problem refers to the issue of whether or not a steel bar made of the 1018 alloy will bend or deform under a certain amount of force or pressure.

2. Why is this problem important?

This problem is important because it affects the structural integrity and safety of buildings, bridges, and other structures that use 1018 steel bars. If the bars cannot withstand expected levels of pressure, it could lead to collapse or other structural failures.

3. What factors can influence the bendability of a 1018 steel bar?

The bendability of a 1018 steel bar can be influenced by factors such as the size and shape of the bar, the temperature and humidity of the environment, and the amount and direction of force applied to the bar.

4. How can scientists determine the bendability of a 1018 steel bar?

Scientists can determine the bendability of a 1018 steel bar through various tests, including tensile testing, impact testing, and bend testing. These tests measure the strength, ductility, and toughness of the steel, which can give an indication of its ability to withstand bending forces.

5. What are some potential solutions to the 1018 steel bar bend problem?

Potential solutions to the 1018 steel bar bend problem include using a different type of steel with higher strength and ductility, reinforcing the steel bars with additional support structures, or redesigning the structure to distribute forces more evenly. Further research and testing are also necessary to fully understand and address this problem.
