Seeking method to optimization force distribution among rivet joints

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the optimal placement for three or four rivet points subjected to a varying force. The goal is to ensure even distribution of force among the rivets. The user is seeking mathematical methods, potentially involving differential equations, to achieve this. They are open to multiple approaches for determining the optimal solution. The inquiry emphasizes the need for a robust mathematical framework to solve the problem effectively.

I have a case where I am trying to find the optimal place to put 3 rivet points (I will maybe even test with 4). The rivet points r subject to a force according to the picture, which vary 360. What I am seeking here is mathematical methods to find the optimal place to put the 3 riverts, so that the force will be evenly distributed among the rivets

I am well versed with linear algebra, could a differential equation be the answer?.

Feel free to suggest more then one method!

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
