I am working on a problem where there is a mass at the end of a slender cylindrical beam as shown in the attached figure. There is a torque load applied to the mass about the Y-axis (on mass's local coordinate system). This produces a deflection in the beam in the direction of the positive...
I need some help understanding how to achieve orientation dependent loading. Please see the attached photo for an example of what I am talking about.
Basically I would like to be able to define some points, say the free end and the midpoint. At each of these points, the rotation from the...
I feel like I am overlooking something really simple here but I could use your help to restore my sanity.
I have some data I collected using a 6-axis load cell. I would like to use this and calculate the resultant load force applied to the tool tip.
Am I correct in wanting to use the 3 force...
