Bending Resistance - Hollow tube vs. Solid Rod
The second moment of area, also known as the area moment of inertia is a property of a cross section that can be used to predict the resistance of beams to bending. The deflection of a beam under load depends not only on the load, but also on the geometry of the beam's cross-section. This is why beams with higher area moments of inertia, such as I-beams are so often seen in building construction as opposed to other beams with the same cross sectional area. The higher the area moment of inertia, the greater the resistance to bending.
The formulas for area moment of inertia for solid and hollow round beams are;
Solid round beam (rod):

Hollow round beam (tube):

Where = outer diameter and = inner diameter

Assuming the two beams are made of the same material, the beam with the higher area moment of inertia will be more resistant to bending.
Case 1.
Two round beams each of which has the same weight (quantity of material and cross sectional area). If we choose a solid round rod of 1 in. diameter and a round tube of 1.5 in. outer diameter, the inner diameter of the round tube would be 1.118 in. resulting in a wall thickness of the 0.191 in. or a little more than 3/16 in. wall thickness to give the same cross-sectional area (the same amount of material thus the same weight).
Solid Rod:

Area moment of inertia: d=1 Hollow Tube:

Area moment of inertia:

di = 1.118

So comparing area moment of inertia for the hollow vs. the solid beam:

d = 1.5

The hollow tube area moment of inertia is approximately 3.5 times that of a solid rod of the same cross sectional area (weight).

Case 2.
Two round beams each of which has the same outer diameter. The hollow tube will weigh less (smaller quantity of material) and have a smaller cross sectional area than the solid rod. If we choose a solid round rod of 1 in. diameter and a hollow tube with the same wall thickness as Case 1 (0.191 in.).
Solid Rod:

Area moment of inertia: d=1 Hollow Tube: di = 0.618

Area moment of inertia: d = 1.0

So comparing area moment of inertia for the hollow vs. the solid beam:

But the cross sectional area (weight) of the hollow vs. the solid beam:

So in this case, the hollow tube area moment of inertia is approximately 85% the solid rod of the same diameter but the cross sectional area (weight) of the hollow tube is only 62% of the solid rod.

Case 3.
Selection of the right cross section material can result in improvements in both bending strength and weight. Again consider two round beams; one solid, the other hollow. If we choose a solid round rod of
1 in. diameter and a hollow tube with a 1.125 in. outer diameter and 0.75 inner diameter resulting in a wall thickness of 0.1875 (3/16) in. the results will be:
Solid Rod:

Area moment of inertia: d=1 Hollow Tube:

Area moment of inertia:

di = 0.881

d = 1.125

So comparing area moment of inertia for the hollow vs. the solid beam:

And the cross sectional area (weight) of the hollow vs. the solid beam:

So in this case, the hollow tube area moment of inertia is 128% of the solid rod but the cross sectional area (weight) of the hollow tube is only 70% of the solid rod.

Metal Forming Process

...processes are normally used for large scale production rates. It is also generally economical and many cases improve the mechanical properties. Some of the metals forming process are rolling, forging, extrusion, drawing, sheet metal forming and bending. In fabrication of metal dustbin, below process forming process are involved. a. Sheet Metal Cutting -Sheet metal cutting can be done by shearing operation. Shearing is the mechanical cutting of material without the formation of chips or the use of burning or melting. When sheets of metal are to be sheared along a straight line, squaring shears are frequently used. As the upper ram descends, a clamping bar or set of clamping fingers presses the sheet of metal against the machine table to hold firmly in formation. A moving blade then comes down across a fixed blade and shears the metal. On larger shears, the moving blade is often set at an angle of rocks as it descends, so the cut is made in a progressive fashion from one side of the material to the other, much like a pair of household scissors. b.Bending Bending is the plastic deformation of metals about the linear axis with little or no change in the surface area. Multiple bends can be made simultaneously. Simple bending causes the metals on the outside to be...

Bending Test

...Experiment 3 Bending test – tensile strength Objective: 1. To investigate the relationship between load, span, width, height and deflection of a beam, placed on two bear affected by a concentrated load at the center. 2. To ascertain the coefficient of elasticity for steel, brass, aluminum and wood. Theory The stress-strain behavior of brittle materials (e.g. ceramic, low toughness composite material) is not usually ascertained by tensile tests as outline in Exp. 1. A more suitable transverse bending test is most frequently employed, in which a rod specimen either a circular or rectangular cross section is bent until fracture using a three- or four-point loading technique. The assessments are conducted according to ASTM Standard C 1161, “Standard Test Method for Flexural Strength of Advanced Ceramics at Ambient Temperature.” In this module, the apparatus has been design to enable students to carry out experiments on simply supported and cantilever beams in order to investigate:(a) the relationship between the deflections and the applied loads (b) the effect of variations in 1ength and cross sectional i.e. deflection per unit load.

3 Point Bending Beam

...AME 20241: Mechanics of Solids Laboratory 2: Build a Beam for 3-Point Bending Abstract: This laboratory report contains the design process of a simple foam I-beam. An analysis of the beam is conducted after the application of a 3-point bending from an ATS machine. This beam experienced a linear stiffness of 262 lbf./in. at an ultimate strength of 53.9 lbf. and deflection of 0.351 in. to which it immediately failed. Objective: This laboratory required the design and construction of a beam that spans 30 inches in order to determine the maximum strength and carry load at mid-span. The beam was created exclusively using a 10 by 40 inches piece of foam board of thickness 3/16 inches, 4 hot glue sticks, and Exacto knives. Design Rationale: From the materials mentioned, an I-beam was constructed. The cuts necessary to produce the I-beam are shown in Figured 1. 32 in. 1 in. 5 in. 5 in. Figure 1: Foam Beam Cut Schematic. When deciding how to cut foam board, the thought behind it was to target the areas of the beam that would experience the most applied load force. The final design consisted of five 1-inch units hot glued together at three equally spaced sections between two 32-inch long boards. The top and bottom sections 1 were supposed to keep the board from failing at its ends and splitting apart and the middle section was to keep the board from splitting in the middle and dipping inward. The final design is shown in Figure 2. Top View Side View Front View Figure...

...Subwavelength light bending by metal slit structures Tae-Woo Lee and Stephen K. Gray Chemistry Division and Center for Nanoscale Materials, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, IL 60439 twlee@anl.gov, gray@tcg.anl.gov Abstract: We discuss how light can be efficiently bent by nanoscale-width slit waveguides in metals. The discussion is based on accurate numerical solutions of Maxwell's equations. Our results, using a realistic model for silver at optical wavelengths, show that good right-angle bending transmission can be achieved for wavelengths λ > 600 nm. An approximate stop-band at lower wavelengths also occurs, which can be partly understood in terms of a dispersion curve analysis. The bending efficiency is shown to correlate with a focusing effect at the inner bend corner. Finally, we show that good bending transmission can even arise out of U-turn structures. ©2005 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (240.6680) Surface plasmons; (260.3910) Metals, optics of; (130.2790) Guided waves References and Links 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16.
