solving a beam and a torsion spring
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
let there be a beam connected to a wall at one end (left). in the other end there is a cylinder attached to the beam with an inertia moment of I0 the cylinder is then connected to a torsion spring which is connected to a right wall the beam (cantilever) has a inertia moment - I ,young modulus - E and the length is L. 2. Relevant equations what are the exact boundary conditions of the problem? (I believe there are 4 2 of the left ones are trivial) 3. The attempt at a solution I thought of simply saying the torsion moment in one end has to be: tau=k*theta where tau is the torque and theta the angle of torsion (k is the spring constant), then i can find a connection between the height of the beam and angle of torsion (although not a linear one) but there must be another boundary condition... |
