A hole of diameter (d) is to be punched through a sheet metal of thickness (t). How much force is required to punch the hole if the ultimate shear stress of the sheet metal is (τ)?
A hole of diameter (d) is to be punched through a sheet metal of thickness (t). How much force is required to punch the hole if the ultimate shear stress of the sheet metal is (τ)? Correct Answer πdtτ
Concept:
In punching and blanking, the shearing action on the sheet takes place which will depend on the shear strength of the metal.
Punching force F = Lt τ
Where L is Length of the periphery, t = thickness, τ = Ultimate shear strength
For circular section L = πd
∴ F = πdtτ
