Force Calculation for bending of TOR steel bars

[Mradul Jha]

Hello everyone,

I need some help to calculate the force required to bend a tor steel bar of dia 20mm and 12 m long from the centre. I want to bend it like a hair pin and need to know how much force is exactly required to do so. Any help or resource would be great.

Regards,
Mradul

Did you look in your undergrad mechanics of materials textbook? Usually they have a section on plastic bending, although it is not typically covered in class. Here is a good source on the plastic bending of beams: https://www.codecogs.com/library/engineering/materials/plastic-theory-of-bending.php. You can also use the following search terms: plastic bending of beams.
