Re: [Phys-l] stressed beam stiffness analysis with one end fixed



Darn, I can't picture your apparatus, tho I think you understand my problem. Can you send me a drawing attachment?

It might be useful to model a spring strip suspension by a
flexible cloth suspension buttressed by cheek pieces which have
the effect of shortening the pendular length with deflection.
The stiffness to angular deflection would then be isolated for
modeling seperately.



Brian Whatcott Altus OK Eureka!
