Double cantilever beam problems

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the behavior of two double cantilever beams when subjected to pressure differences. When no external force is applied, the beams remain together, but the question arises about their interaction under pressure. Participants are seeking clarity on whether the beams will separate or remain in contact when one end slips due to pressure differences. The need for an accurate mathematical model to analyze the forces involved is emphasized, particularly regarding the equilibrium of upward and downward forces. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for predicting the structural response of the beams under varying conditions.

Hi, guys, i am struggling to figure out the answer of below question, please give your suggestions. thanks!
Given Cantilever Beam 1 and Beam 2, the right ends are free, no constraint to put them two together. When no force acting on, they will stay together; while when there is pressure difference, what will happen? Are they still keeping together with only the right end slipped? Or the 2 beam are totally separated? How can I get an accurate mathematical model of the problem?

What kind of forces are we talking here? In the drawing in looks like the upward and downward forces are equal. In which case there will be no movement of said structure.

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
