I am still struggling to find the right answer. To put the question in a simple way; Calculate the force required to compress (deform) the object? Just need to know the method to calculate.

@ pongo: Values doesn't matter. I just want to know the theoretical method to find the right answer.

http://www.auto-medienportal.net/artikel/detail/21478/[/URL] The last picture from the above link explains it: A force of 6367.2 N is applied on the green rod inside the tube.So the rod (plastic) runs through the turbine blade and stops after that. Now the remaining force is transferred...

Yes. You are right. When the above said force is used to push the rod, the rod in turn pushes through the blade of a gear (looks like turbine). I want to find the force in that area (just before it touces the blad of the turbine).

I want to find the final output force ór remaining force after compression happens (final output force should be less than the initial force).

I am new to the forum. I was calculating the force losses in a seat belt pretensioner. Here is the question. A cylindrical plastic rod is pushed on one side at a force of 6367.2 N inside a metal tube. Find the energy loss (force loss or final force or output force) due to the compression of...
