Deflection of beam with end load equation
d=FL^3/(3E*I)
Deflection = ForceLength^3/(3Modulus of Elasticity * Moment of inertia)
Rectangular Cross section moment of inertia equation (bending around x axis)
I=x*y^3/12
Rectangular Cross section moment of inertia equation (bending around y axis)
I=x^3*y/12
0th Law of Thermodynamics
If two systems, at thermal equilibrium with each other are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, all systems at in equilibrium with each other
1st Law of Thermodynamics
Conservation of Energy. It cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred from one form to another.
What are ways to maximize beam deflection?
Increase beam length, change beam shape and change material
Ways to minimize beam deflection
Decrease beam length, move force close to wall, change material, change beam shape
Define modulus of elasticity
Unit measurement of an objects resistance to being deformed elastically when stress is applied
Strain equation for cantilever snaps
Strain = (3yh) / (2L^2Q)
y= deflection of snap
h= height of the snap at the root
L= length of the snap
K= taper factor (>1)
Bending force equation for snaps
F= (E* b* h^3* y) / ( 4*L^3)
E=modulus of elasticity
b= width of the snap
h= height of the snap at the root
y= deflection
L= Length of the snap
Assembly push force of a snap
P= F * ( tan(alpha) + u) / ( 1- u * tan (alpha))
F= bending force for the cantilever snap
alpha= lead-in angle
u= friction coefficient
