How Is Deflection Calculated for a Partially Supported Circular Lid?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the deflection of a partially supported circular lid being lifted by a linear actuator. The lid weighs 30kg and has a diameter of 380mm, with support provided by only one-third of its area. A 60x20x180mm plate is mounted to the lid using four M10 screws to facilitate the lift. The actuator has a load capacity of 1500N and is used to lift the lid to a height of 100mm. Participants are encouraged to share diagrams to clarify the setup for better understanding.

Hi
In one of my application I am using a linear actuator to lift a 30kg lid which has a diameter of 380mm.
I can only use 1/3rd portion on the lid to take support, for actuator which I used a 60*20*180 long plate mounted to the lid and lift.

Welcome to the PF.

Can you post a diagram of your setup? It's a bit hard to understand your question (at least it is for me). Thanks. :smile:

Hello Berkeman,
Thanks for your reply. Here is the image
I have attached, the plate is mounted to lid using 4- M10 screws and the lid is lifted to 100mm length

Thanks in advance:smile:

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
