Would you happen to know of a formula that could give me an estimate of the force needed for the deformation?

Yeah, a very small section of the cylinder would be under a compressive load. FEA software is not at my disposal, I was hoping to find a formula to estimate the required force to flatten the section of the cylinder.

Plastic deformation, I want to squish it flat to a thickness of about .05 inches. The original diameter is 0.1 inches. Basically, I want to form it by compressing the cylinder from the top and bottom with a flat surface of maybe a steel square block. I have the mechanical properties of the steel...

An applied load that will cause a deformation.

Yeah, the diameter is about 0.1 inches and the material being nickel. Would the formula that you listed give me an idea of the load required?

That formula would work for this application?

Trying to calculate the force required to deform a cross section of a solid cylinder. To create an image, imagine a cylinder laying on a flat surface, and then a section of it defined as a length of X, being subjected to a compressive load. I'm trying to find the correct formula for this. Any...

Do you have an idea of a suitable psi range ?

I have been looking into pneumatic also since they seem more affordable. Here is the website https://www.bimba.com/Products-and-Cad/Actuators/Inch#Round-Line I have a pneumatic cylinder from this company rated at 250psi which is not providing enough force to crimp the tubes together

Hi! This is my first post on here. I need to purchase an air cylinder, most likely hydraulic. The cylinder will have a forming die attached on the end and will be used to crimp two small stainless steel tubes together. The crimp will occur at an offset of .004 inches from each end of the tubes...
