Re: [ATM] Pressure per square mm

Ok, I've tried to apply the formula from the document Dave gave me.  I've
compiled it into a small executable that works out the cantilevered beam
problem.  It seems to pass the common sense test, but I'd like to see what
others think..  Here's a link to the program:

In the program, drag the slider to adjust the over hang of the top bar.  The
purple graph at the bottom charts the pressure / mm^2 of the contact area.

Comments? :)

Take Care,
