Been a couple years since I've taken any statics courses, and I haven't used any of it since, so hopefully you guys can help me out. A friend is trying to determine the necessary strength needed to bend a test strap around a die (I'm assuming he wants to use a hydraulic jack setup, but I don't have all the details). Test straps are typically A36, though A514 and a lot of our high chrome pipe straps are also tested which exceed 100 ksi. Any thoughts as to how to approach it?
