Will trade a whole CD full of cad files for an FEA on this 30 mm wide steel
ring.

The 40 mm dia. steel rollers exert a force of 2000 pounds or 900 Kg radially
outward. I also would like the contact stresses as well if possible.

The Rockwell hardness is C64.

BTW does anybody know of any affordable FEA software?

Paul,

I will need more information about the material.

Do you have a yield, tensile?

-----------------------------------------------
4340 lets see what the book says at Rc 64.

560 MPa yeild or 81,000 psi. Figure the modulas of elasticity at 30 million.

I could be a little off here and there.

BTW if anyone wants a quick education on 4340 chrome molly
check out these web sites.
