Tube Deflection
Tube Deflection
(OP)
I have a tube that is being forced against a fixed top face (see attached for details) and I am trying to calculate the perpendicular deflection when the force is applied.
I do not have a clue where to start, any pointers would be very helpful.

However, in the real world, considering buckling of the column due to inherent instabilities and eccentricities in the system, the pipe column will have a P-Delta deflection due to the moment of the force P times the eccentricity of the system.
Roark might have something on this, but Timoshenko and Gere would be the better option in my opinion.

RE: Tube Deflection
One clue as to where to start...find an appropriate forum for your question. This has nothing to do with earthworks and grading.
If you are really a mechanical engineer, this should be a simple problem. Another thing...don't mix unit systems. Millimetres and tons don't belong together.
