Force Calculation for bending of TOR steel bars

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the force required to bend a 20mm diameter, 12m long TOR steel bar, resources on plastic bending of beams are recommended, particularly from mechanics of materials textbooks. A specific online source on plastic bending theory is provided for further reference. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding plastic bending, which may not be thoroughly covered in standard coursework. Participants are encouraged to explore these resources for accurate calculations. The conversation highlights the need for foundational knowledge in mechanics to approach such engineering problems effectively.

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.
Thank you jrmichler for the response.
Appreciate your input.

I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...
Hi. I noticed that all electronic devices in my household that also tell time eventually lag behind, except the ones that get synchronized by radio signal or internet. Most of them are battery-powered, except my alarm clock (which runs slow as well). Why does none of them run too fast? Deliberate design (why)? Wrong temperature for quartz crystal? Decreasing battery voltage? Or just a coincidence?
