Shear Force Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Shear Force = Centripetal Force*cos(Theta)-Tangential Force*sin(Theta)
F_s = Fc*cos(θ)-P_t*sin(θ)
This formula uses 2 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)
cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)

Variables Used

Shear Force - (Measured in Newton) - Shear Force is the force which causes shear deformation to occur in the shear plane.
Centripetal Force - (Measured in Newton) - A centripetal force is a force that makes a body follow a curved path. Its direction is always orthogonal to the motion of the body and towards the fixed point of the instantaneous center of curvature of the path.
Theta - (Measured in Radian) - Theta is an angle that can be defined as the figure formed by two rays meeting at a common endpoint.
Tangential Force - (Measured in Newton) - The Tangential force is the force that acts on a moving body in the direction of a tangent to the curved path of the body.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Centripetal Force: 1200 Newton --> 1200 Newton No Conversion Required
Theta: 30 Degree --> 0.5235987755982 Radian (Check conversion here)
Tangential Force: 25 Newton --> 25 Newton No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_s = Fc*cos(θ)-P_t*sin(θ) --> 1200*cos(0.5235987755982)-25*sin(0.5235987755982)

Evaluating ... ...

F_s = 1026.73048454133

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1026.73048454133 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1026.73048454133 ≈ 1026.73 Newton <-- Shear Force

Shear Force Formula

Shear Force = Centripetal Force*cos(Theta)-Tangential Force*sin(Theta)
F_s = Fc*cos(θ)-P_t*sin(θ)

What is the Importance of increasing shear angle?

If all other factors remain the same, a higher shear angle results in a smaller shear plane area. Since the shear strength is applied across this area, the shear force required to form the chip will decrease when the shear plane area is decreased. This tends to make machining easier to perform, and also lower cutting energy and cutting temperature.
