Hi,
my name is Luís Guardão and I have the following problem.
I have a simply suported beam made of a closed coiled spring with a 2mm outer diameter. It suffers deflections by action of multiple lateral forces unknown. I know at regular 3cm distance, in 1cm sections, the values of radius of curvature in all three planes and thus the curvature plane.
I'm not an expert in FEA and i've tried to read some books but up to until know I have just a few clues on how to solve the folowing problem:
What is the position of the free end of the beam and its orientation in space ?
Thanks in advance for your help ?
