I must design a rotating device to support a load of 22,000 lb., as shown in the attachment. The device is about 100 inches diameter, is supported on two rollers, and will rotate at 2 RPM for 110 degrees each way. The load is supported on the trapezoid shaped frame within the ring.
The closest formula I can find is from Roark, but it's not very close to what I have. I think I can use the formula, applying the 22,000 lb. load on the outside of the ring (in position C) but the result will be extra conservative.
Might there be anything closer I can use?
Thanks.
