Hi again, I attached a photo to more clearly illustrate the problem. The locating pins fix the rod to the lathe chuck and prevent rotation or movement (tries to be a fixed support as much as possible). I am after the delta X between the centerline of the deformed rod and the non-deformed rod in...
Hi everyone, I am working on a compressive machining fixture that will support a copper rod with a through hole along the center. The boundary conditions I am assuming are fixed-fixed since the fixture will constrain either end of the rod preventing it from experiencing any rotation or pivoting...
