SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the maximum bending moment and radius of curvature for a round beam with a diameter of 0.125 mm, using Young's modulus of 200 x 103 N/mm2 and a bending stress limit of 17.5 N/mm2. The maximum allowable bending moment is determined to be 3,080,000 N/mm4, while the radius of curvature at the point of maximum bending moment is calculated to be 1.4 mm. The calculations utilize the equations σ/y = m/I = E/R and Ina = πD4/64.
