How This Is Calculated


$$ F = S \cdot L \cdot T $$ where:

F   =   Force   (N)

S   =   Shear strength of the material   (Pa)

L   =   Perimeter of the cut   (m)

T   =   Material thickness   (m)


Assumptions


  • The material properties are uniform.
  • The shear process is ideal.
  • The thickness of the material is uniform.
  • Friction and tooling effects are not considered.
