If done right , it wouldn ' t , as soon as the boob armor got bent , it would pinch and cause distracting pain . <| sep |> There ' s an equation for the angular deflection at the end of a cantilever beam . I do not remember it off of the top of my head , but if you include it in your MATLAB program along with some trigonometry , that should get you the axial deflection . However , like another commenter said , the axial deflection will be insignificant . Otherwise , a cantilever model might stop being appropriate . Perhaps some sort of leaf spring model would be better . <| sep |> Oh great . shakes his head , then looks at her with concern Are you sure ? <| sep |> Yup , then let ' s see how quickly they scrap it . <| sep |> Yep . Same problem here , I ' m at 36 k . I condition and clean the leather regularly . Just a side effect of having such aggressive bolstering I guess .
