Hi,
I need to perform FEA analysis on a Punching Bag attached is the image and following is the description of the same.
The bag is a coated vinyl, 18 oz, (same as a truck’s toneau cover). It’s filled with shredded carpet fiber.
The size is a 14-16” diameter x 72” tall. 130 lbs.
Goals: to affirm our specs are overkill and to convey to our clients that they are the toughest racks (tougher than necessary)
Here is a link to a study done about the force produced by a human punch/kick. [login to view URL]
The tae kwon do spinning back kick delivered more than 1,500 pounds (680.4 kilograms) of force, while the kung fu flying double kick produced about 1,000 pounds (453.6 kilograms) of force.
Use the 1,500lbs of force as your main force.
Let me know how long you think this study would take you to complete.
Hi,
I'm a Mechanical Engineer from IIT Madras. I have 4 years experience in design and FEA. I can do this punching bag analysis for you, for the loads that you've specified.
I can deliver you the solutions within 24 hours from now.. It will be a detailed 30 page report, with all the required numbers.
Please reply to discuss further.
