σ : crushing or normal stress, t: thickness, D: diameter, τ: Shear stress.
Given τ = σ /4.
Crushing force = shearing force.
==> σ [(π/4)* D^2] = τ[π D t].

Solving this equation, we get D=t.

A steel punch can be worked to a compressive stress of 800N/mm^2.

Find the least diameter of hole which can be punched through a steel plate of 12mm thick, if its ultimate shear strength is 315N/mm^2.

Can anyone answer this?

Option A is the correct answer.

Crushing stress = 4 * Load(P)/φ * D * D.

Shear stress = Load(P)/φ * D * t.

Since Crushing stress = 4 * Shear stress.

After resolve, We get, D = t.

So option A is right.

The answer is d = t.

1. Max shear stress in plate = 1/4 max crushing stress in the punch.
2. Shear stress in plate = p/ dt.
3. Crushing stress in punch = 4p/ d^2.
4. Now p/' dt = 4p/4 d^2.

And d = t.

The question has asked the maximum diameter that can be punched. I think the smallest diameter should be equal to t. But again, I don't know how. Please explain in most basic tone.

@Uppu Harish perfect answer & absolute correct explanation.

d=t, shall be the correct answer.

Crystal clear depiction of force & area in shear & crush.

@Akahai.

7.62 apply same formula and this answer of questions is D=tCrushing force = shearing force.
==> σ [(φ/4)* D^2] = τ[φD t].

@Akshay I want to explain you about the question.

Actually @Rajesh had done exactly no need again just check once if at all u didnt get that will see.

Shear stress = F/pi*d*t.

Crushing stress = 4F/pi*d^2.

Here pi = 22/7.

According to question Shear stress = Crushing stress/4.

That is why d = t.

NITESH BORKAR said:   9 years ago
The equation will be:

(Pi/4 * d^2) * Crushing strength,

= Pi * d * t * Shear strength (or crushing strength * 2).

Which comes out to be t only.
