Can anyone help please.
Lack of knowledge is not allowing me to find answer to my project.
I am building extendable arm, from titanium pipes. Basically it is a pipe within pipe with Derlin bushings for ease of slide.
Even so Titanium appears to be brittle, it is a weight I am concerned with as the project is on a sailboat.
What I am trying to find out if I extend the arm from it’s sheath. Aim is 2.5ft to safely hold 100 lbs. Is there a formula to calculate at what point the pipe bends for 1” pipe, Grade 2, Schedule 40 Titanium.
Second option is a 316 Stainless square tubing as I may take advantage of thinner wall for reduction in the weight.
Same applies here, working out the force/weight at what point failure/bending occurs.
In both cases I would then factor in 3 to 1 safety margin.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
