Motion Analysis of steel flexible TT ( Tension & Torsion ) straps
Posted: Thu Jul 11, 2024 11:45 am
Hi there ! 
I am designing a rotorhead for RC helicopter and will use layered steel plates to absorb centrifugal forces while steel offering the longitudinal flexing for blade pitch motion.
I am unsure what to do in SW.
I'd like to :
- Move the end bushing axis in roll axis, seeing the deflection ( flexing ) of the steel straps, to analyse it's motion, see where it could hit something and what deflection I can achieve
- Make stress analysis regarding maximum ddeflection in degrees, testing varius steels and width
- I need approx 25° of motion
Many thanks for your help !
