The carpenter tape is a thin spring-steel strip, preformed to a curved cross-section, which can be straight when being used for measuring. In this paper, we investigated the behavior of straight steel with carpenter tape geometry under the bending moment by simulation using Inventor software. This study used 3 points bending with applied force is 70 kN and the support length is 40 mm. The dimension of carpenter tape is length is 17 mm and 50 mm in width. The variable of radius used is 5.7 mm; 4.9 mm; 3.8 mm; 2.8 mm; 2.4 mm. From the simulation, we found that the high radius of carpenter tape geometries has higher bending tolerance and higher safety values |
