How to Calculate Shear Plane Angle?
Shear Plane Angle calculator uses Shear Angle Metal = arctan((Chip Ratio*cos(Rake Angle))/(1-Chip Ratio*sin(Rake Angle))) to calculate the Shear Angle Metal, The shear plane angle is the angle of inclination of the assumed shear plane from the cutting velocity vector, as measured on orthogonal plane. Shear Angle Metal is denoted by ϕ symbol.
How to calculate Shear Plane Angle using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Shear Plane Angle, enter Chip Ratio (r) & Rake Angle (α) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Shear Plane Angle calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1306.968 = arctan((0.4*cos(0.149400183970687))/(1-0.4*sin(0.149400183970687))).
