Stresses in Piston

“Piston Rod ” Reinaldo Santiago Bermudez ... Free ring radius approx. = 45mm . Free ring gap approx. = 10mm . Angle subtended at center of ring by gap = 10/45 = 0.222radians . Starting with the bending equation: Then integrating: Length of Beam = 0.09π m. Substituting this length for x. 0.22 EI = 0.09 M. ................
