Comparing Axial vs Torsional Load Effects in Bent Extrusions

The article explains how bent aluminum extrusions respond to axial and torsional loads, highlighting the distinct deformation patterns and risks each force introduces. It emphasizes that combined loading creates complex, non-linear stress interactions that can lead to instability or failure without proper analysis. Using tools like FEA, careful profile selection, and Inductaflex’s advanced bending solutions ensures curved components maintain strength and reliability under real-world conditions.
