AI Thread Summary
To calculate the minimum drum diameter for a 4mm thick copper strip without exceeding a maximum bending stress of 332 MN/m², the radius of curvature formula is applied. The relationship involves the maximum stress, Young's modulus (E = 95 GN/m²), and the radius of curvature (ρ). An initial calculation suggests a diameter of approximately 1.7 meters, but there is a need to verify the inversion of this value. The correct formula for determining the radius of curvature is crucial for accurate results. Proper application of these equations will ensure the design meets the stress requirements.

I believe you need to invert that answer. The form I am used to seeing is

\frac{1}{\rho}=\frac{\sigma_{max}}{E*c}

Where rho is the radius of curvature.
