Motion Analysis of steel flexible TT ( Tension & Torsion ) straps

Hi there ! :smiley:

I am designing a rotorhead for RC helicopter and will use layered steel plates to absorb centrifugal forces while steel offering the longitudinal flexing for blade pitch motion.

I am unsure what to do in SW.

I’d like to :

  • Move the end bushing axis in roll axis, seeing the deflection ( flexing ) of the steel straps, to analyse it’s motion, see where it could hit something and what deflection I can achieve
  • Make stress analysis regarding maximum ddeflection in degrees, testing varius steels and width
  • I need approx 25° of motion

Many thanks for your help !

Any ideas ?

Do you have a license for solidworks simulation?
