STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Area of Shear = Cross Sectional Area of Uncut Chip/sin(Shear Angle)
A_s = A_c/sin(ϕ)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 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)

Variables Used

Area of Shear - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Shear is defined as the area of the section which is effective in resisting shear deformation.
Cross Sectional Area of Uncut Chip - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Cross Sectional Area of Uncut Chip is the area enclosed within the outer surface of the workpiece and the line of cut followed by the single-point cutting edge. It is calculated for one pass.
Shear Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Shear Angle is the inclination of the shear plane with the horizontal axis at machining point.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Cross Sectional Area of Uncut Chip: 0.45 Square Millimeter --> 4.5E-07 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
