Direct Compressive Stress in Screw Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Compressive stress in screw = (Axial load on screw*4)/(pi*Core diameter of screw^2)
σ_c = (W_a*4)/(pi*d_c^2)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

Compressive stress in screw - (Measured in Pascal) - Compressive stress in screw is the force per unit area that is responsible for the deformation of the material such that the volume of the material reduces.
Axial load on screw - (Measured in Newton) - Axial load on screw is the instantaneous load applied to the screw along its axis.
Core diameter of screw - (Measured in Meter) - Core diameter of screw is defined as the smallest diameter of the thread of the screw or nut. The term “minor diameter” replaces the term “core diameter” as applied to the thread of a screw.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Axial load on screw: 131000 Newton --> 131000 Newton No Conversion Required
Core diameter of screw: 42 Millimeter --> 0.042 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

σ_c = (W_a*4)/(pi*d_c^2) --> (131000*4)/(pi*0.042^2)

Evaluating ... ...

σ_c = 94554637.3924639

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

94554637.3924639 Pascal -->94.5546373924639 Newton per Square Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

94.5546373924639 ≈ 94.55464 Newton per Square Millimeter <-- Compressive stress in screw

Mean Diameter of Power Screw

Go Mean Diameter of Power Screw = Nominal diameter of screw-0.5*Pitch of power screw thread

Nominal Diameter of Power Screw

Go Nominal diameter of screw = Core diameter of screw+Pitch of power screw thread

Core Diameter of Power Screw

Go Core diameter of screw = Nominal diameter of screw-Pitch of power screw thread

Pitch of Power Screw

Go Pitch of power screw thread = Nominal diameter of screw-Core diameter of screw

Direct Compressive Stress in Screw Formula

Compressive stress in screw = (Axial load on screw*4)/(pi*Core diameter of screw^2)
σ_c = (W_a*4)/(pi*d_c^2)

Direct Compressive Stress of Screw

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.
