Dear,
I try to simulate a composite beam that is excisting out of 2 oak beams (3x20x650mm) with in the middle 3 different steels beams with 3 different widths (1, 2 and 3mm) and the dimension of the steel is (1x20x650 mm).
Becaus this is not possible a calculation is been made to find the youns modules of the composite and only 1 beam needs to be drawn.
E = (E1 * t1 + E2* t2)/( t1+t2) t1 thickness of oak, t2 thickness of steel
E for 1mm of steel 38GPa
E for 2 mm of steel 58.25 GPa.
E for 3 mm of steel 74 GPA.
But when I make this simulation in Creo PTC I only get a deflection of 0.0555 mm instead of 0.52 mm?
