Hey @le99 I saw your suggestion, but it's much more complicated than that. I simplified this problem a lot to post it here without creating too much confusion. I was trying to not involve anyone in the design part but more in understanding the issue and how to treat it. Thank you for the...
Also to add to this, @le99 asks a good question. Should we consider this torsion at the end as a spring ? Because if that's the case I understand how new hard stop doesn't see any load until it gets touched and then it starts sharing the new load. In that case I can see how distribution is 75 25.
The system sees torsion only. And the reason for even asking this is designing the hard stop. I want to know if the hard stop sees full torque OR half torque OR 25%.
I was under impression that it should be 50% 50%, but the way @BAretired explains it makes a lot sense on the paper.
So to...
@dauwerda and @BAretired. Hmmmmm interesting point. Let me also ask you this. One of the main purposes of asking everyone this is because we are designing the hard stop. I originally thought that we need to design the hard stop to be able to withstand the full load, all 1000KNm. But one of the...
Hey @BAretired,
Again, my apologies. I sketched this very quickly. Those circular items are bearings. The square tube can rotate freely inside those bearings.
@duawerda made a correct assumption of how the system functions. One end is fixed, the other end rotates 15 degrees and after that it...
Hi @dauwerda,
I apologize for the confusion. I didn't explain well. The moment is actually constant throughout whole square tube. It is not applied at the end only.
Hi @JStephen,
Thanks for responding.
I think I attached the picture now. Let me know if it's not there.
The hard stop is at the end.
The only thing that is confusing me is that we have a constant load. The torque doesn't stop for hours and hours. So, in my head, it doesn't matter when it got...
Hello everyone,
This is my first time posting, so forgive me if I did it in the wrong sub thread or wrong forum.
I have a very specific problem that I though I have solution to, but then after talking to my colleague and understanding his point of view I am left a bit puzzled now.
Here's the...
