AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on determining the maximum thickness of a steel strip that can be bent around a drum with a radius of 1 meter without exceeding a stress of 100 MPa. Participants confirm the use of the general bending equation and the second moment of area for a cylinder, specifically referencing the formula pi x d^4/64. There is confusion regarding the calculations and the significance of the numbers derived from the modulus of elasticity and stress. Clarification is sought on which equality to apply in the bending equation. The thread emphasizes the need for guidance on the initial steps to solve the problem effectively.

Stress/strain+general bending equation...

Homework Statement



A steel strip is to be bent around a drum of radius 1m. What is the maximum thickness of strip that can be bent in this way if the stress in the strip is not to exceed 100 MPa.

The steel has a modulus of elasticity of 210 GPa.

Am i correct in thinking i should be using the general bending equation here?

as well as the second moment of area for a cylinder?

pi x d^4/64

any help would be great, cheers.

I'm stuck on where to begin, a nod in the direction would be really helpful thanks.

I think that would be correct to do.

I am not sure what those numbers are supposed to mean.

\frac{M}{I} = \frac{\sigma _b}{y} = \frac{E}{R}

Which equality did you use?
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
