Width of Cotter by Shear Consideration Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Mean Width of Cotter = Shear Force on Cotter/(2*Shear Stress in Cotter*Thickness of Cotter)
b = V/(2*τ_co*t_c)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Mean Width of Cotter - (Measured in Meter) - The mean Width of Cotter is defined as the average width of the cotter of a cotter joint.
Shear Force on Cotter - (Measured in Newton) - Shear Force on Cotter can be described as a force acting in a direction that's parallel to (over the top of) a surface or cross-section of a cotter.
Shear Stress in Cotter - (Measured in Pascal) - Shear Stress in Cotter is the amount of stress (cause deformation by slippage along a plane parallel to the imposed stress) generated into the cotter due to the shear force acting on it.
Thickness of Cotter - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Cotter is the measure of how much broad is the cotter in direction perpendicular to axial force.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Shear Force on Cotter: 23800 Newton --> 23800 Newton No Conversion Required
Shear Stress in Cotter: 24 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 24000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Thickness of Cotter: 21.478 Millimeter --> 0.021478 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

b = V/(2*τ_co*t_c) --> 23800/(2*24000000*0.021478)

Evaluating ... ...

b = 0.0230856380171959

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0230856380171959 Meter -->23.0856380171959 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

23.0856380171959 ≈ 23.08564 Millimeter <-- Mean Width of Cotter

What is a cotter joint?

A cotter joint, also known as a socket and spigot joint, is a method of temporarily joining two coaxial rods. One rod is fitted with a spigot, which fits inside a socket on one end of the other rod. Cotter joints are used to support axial loads between the two rods, tensile or compressive.

What is shear failure?

Shear failure can be defined as a failure that takes place due to insufficiency of shear resistance available inside a material.
