Thanks for your input.
The Tube is not going to be used as a beam, just the beam bending calculation is the best way to represent the force that may act upon my Tube.
Hi There,
I am wanting to calculate the amount of deflection (δ) from a simply supported Beam. My Beam is an Aluminium Tube ø30mm with a 3mm Wall Thickness.
Force (F) - 500N
Length (L) - 610mm
Youngs Modulus (E) - 68 Gpa
Moment of Inertia (I) - ?
δ = F L³ ∕ 48 E I
Q1: Is this the correct...
