Number of Engaged Threads - A number of Engaged Threads of a screw/bolt are the count of threads of the screw/bolt that are currently in engagement with the nut.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Transverse Shear Stress in Screw: 27.6 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 27600000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Core diameter of screw: 42 Millimeter --> 0.042 Meter (Check conversion here)
Thread Thickness: 4 Millimeter --> 0.004 Meter (Check conversion here)
Number of Engaged Threads: 9 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W_a = (τ_s*pi*d_c*t*z) --> (27600000*pi*0.042*0.004*9)

Evaluating ... ...

W_a = 131102.431345486

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

131102.431345486 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

131102.431345486 ≈ 131102.4 Newton <-- Axial load on screw

Defined load?

Direct Compressive Stress of Screw is the compressive stress generated in the screw when a axial force(W) is applied to it. Screw is subjected to torque, axial compressive load and bending moment also, sometimes. Screws are generally made of C30 or C40 steel. As the failure of power screws may lead to serious accident, higher factor of safety of 3 to 5 is taken. Threads may fail due to shear, which can be avoided by using nut of sufficient height. Wear is another possible mode of thread failure as the threads of nut and bolt rub against each other.
