Calculate the work done per minute by a punch tool making 20 working strokes per min when a 30 mm diametre hole is punched in 5 mm thick plate with ultimate shear strength og 450 Mpa in each stroke.

Calculate the work done per minute by a punch tool making 20 working strokes per min when a 30 mm diametre hole is punched in 5 mm thick plate with ultimate shear strength og 450 Mpa in each stroke. Correct Answer 10.69 kNm

Force required to punch one hole = area shared x ultimate shear strength = пdt x Ss Ss = п x 30 x 5 x 450/1000 = 212.05 kN Work done/min = Average force x Thickness of plate x No. of holes/min = 212.05/2 x 5/1000 x 20 = 10.69 kNm.
