Hi, thank you so much- you're a life saver! I've come across Timoshenko before while looking through Roark for a solution, so that probably will be a good place to look. I've checked the library as well and there are a few books so I'm sure that one will have what I need in it.
One last...
Ok, thank you for replying. How do I go about that for a ring? I've only looked at beams before. I've been given some specifications as well as FEA analysis of normal (circumferential) stress, strain and displacement. The ring is being compressed between two plates and the force is applied in...
I need to find a suitable mathematical method of calculating the stresses at multiple points of a circular ring subjected to point loading. I'll calculate the rest myself- any suggestions?
