Rod Bending Force Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Rod Bending Force (F) is:

\[ F = \frac{S \cdot I}{y \cdot d} \]

Where:

\(F\) is the rod bending force (N)
\(S\) is the yield strength of the material (N/m²)
\(I\) is the moment of inertia (kg-m²)
\(y\) is the distance from the force to the bend point (m)
\(d\) is the distance from the neutral axis (thickness) (m)

Rod Bending Force Definition

A rod bending force is a type of force that causes an object to flex or bend. This force can either be applied directly to the object or cause the object to flex through direct contact with another object. The amount of force needed to bend an object varies depending on its size, strength, and resistance to deformation. A rod bending force is also known as tensile stress.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Yield Strength (S) = 250 N/m²
Moment of Inertia (I) = 0.05 kg-m²
Distance to Bend Point (y) = 0.1 m
Distance from Neutral Axis (d) = 0.01 m

Using the formula to calculate the Rod Bending Force (F):

\[ F = \frac{250 \cdot 0.05}{0.1 \cdot 0.01} = 125000 \]

The Rod Bending Force (F) is 125000 N.
