Hello,
How do I take into account the difference in stiffness when fabricating a part (for example, an L-bracket) from sheet metal or using an extrusion?
In particular, where I work, it is "common knowledge" that extrusions are stiffer. How do i factor this in the stress and strain calculations?
I thought of using the theory of curved beams for sheet metal parts, and using two perpendicularly connected straight beams for the extrusion.
Does anyone have a standard procedure for this?
Thank you.
