AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a sheet metal design question regarding the force generated at the free end of a cantilever beam when a gap closes to 200mm. The user, Roshan, provides dimensions and material specifications but receives feedback indicating discrepancies in the drawing, particularly in the measurements. Participants suggest that the problem involves calculating the torsional moment required to change the angle from 160º to 110º. Additionally, the importance of knowing the Young's modulus for the material, referred to as "MS" steel, is emphasized for accurate force calculations. Overall, the thread highlights the complexities of cantilever large deflection problems and the need for precise measurements and material properties.

Hello everyone,

I have a problem and need your help or advice.

Kindly check the drawing and help me.

Need to know how much force is generated at the free end when the gap closes to 200mm.

The length of the plate is 650 where 50 is welded and 600 is the free end

Material is 1.5mm thk x 500 mm width MS Steel.

thanks in advance
regards
Roshan

It appears there are mistakes in your diagram. It appears 550 mm in your diagram should be 600 mm. And it appears 563 in your diagram should be 563.8 mm. You may want to correct the discrepancies. You also did not explain what "MS" means.

Nonetheless, you have a cantilever large deflection problem. Although this is not very good news, I have never seen a cantilever large deflection theory problem solved in a forum yet. Maybe I missed it. I would love to see an actual example worked out and solved.
 
Hi
I think that you can trasladate this problem like, ¿what is the torsor moment that you need to change the angle?
Sorry I don't speak english correctly.

In Spanish: El problema se reduce ha calcular el momento a aplicar en el extremo para hacer que el ángulo de 160º se transforme en 110º. Desconozco las propiedades del "MS" steel pero necesitas el módulo de Young para calcular la fuerza.

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

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
