Calculate deflection of rod/axlepipe due to distributed load

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the deformation of a rod/axle/pipe under a distributed load, specifically a rod with given dimensions and material properties. The user has determined the second moment of inertia but is struggling to find the correct formula for calculating deformation. There is an emphasis on the importance of the type of support in the calculations. The context of the inquiry is clarified as part of a bachelor thesis. Accurate formulas and support types are crucial for obtaining correct deformation values.

Summary:: Calculate the deformation on a rod/axle/pipe due to a distributed load.

I’m manually trying to calculate the deformation on a rod/axle/pipe due to a distributed load. The rod has an outer diameter of 62mm and an inner diameter of 50, is 170mm long, made from a material with an E-module=200GPa and Poisson's ratio = 0,3. The load is distributed along the whole length of the rod and is 491 N/mm. I have calculated the second moment of inertia I to be 418536mm^4, and I’m having no luck finding a formula for rod deformation/bending.

I have tried using this formula:

But i don't think it applies for rods, as my answer is low.

Is this question for your work or is it a schoolwork question?
 
Where did you get that equation from?
The type of support is very important.

From a Norwegian book for engineering. Posting a pic below.

For my bachelor thesis😁
 
Nice. I'll move it to the schoolwork forums then. :smile:
