Yes, the graph is very much linear, force x deflection, actually the bar is linear until its breaking point which is sudden. The bar material has 65% glass fibers. In the case of using Hook's formula, what am I getting? The constant K that I can use to find the force to deflect at certain...
Hello All I hope someone can help.
I am dropping a weight on a bar to find out deflection of this bar. When I drop a 72lbs weight @ 1.0meter from the bar, the impact energy is (32.7KG x 9.8m/s2 x 1.0m) right? = ~311 N/m
The total deflection when I drop this weight on the bar is 80mm.
On...
