I am struggling to remember how to determine the allowable delta max for a beam.
I am currently modeling the bending forces upon a piece of square tubing, and though developing delta max seems rather straight forward, I can not seem to remeber how to determine just how much deflection I am allowed in that beam.
Essentially... I have my delta max, but how do I know if that much deflection is OK in my design (failure due to Plastic Deformation)
Any input is appreciated
Thanks.
