here we are with a sharing to do about cutting sheet with hydraulic shears.Screenshot_20231110_231109_Drive.jpgin almost all the world, you calculate the cutting force (only to break the material) as:[math]f=\frac{0,8•uts•t2}{2•tan{\alpha}}[/math]where uts is the traction breaking load and t the thickness to be cut. the angle is the main inclination of the blade. someone says the value is too high.

on the book Machinery's handbook 29 and oberg, we talk about a formula, found not only in the American area but especially in the Asian area, where they use very shears that cut to the flight without stopping the tape.[math]f=\frac{n•k•μ·uts•t2}{tan{\alpha}}[/math]It is indicated that n is worth 0.75/0.85 for almost all materials and could be a kind of performance.
k is between 0.7 and 0.8 and represents the ratio between the value of uts and the cutting voltage.
μ represents the penetration percentage of the blade equal to the quantity cut and not torn. practically t•μ represents the first polished cut section of a sheet.Screenshot_20231110_231139_Drive~2.jpgthe table which relates the thickness t and the coefficient μ is as follows:Screenshot_20231110_225120_Photos.jpgclearly that there are around fragile materials with also μ equal to 0.1-0,15-0,2.
this can be seen after cutting by measuring with the caliber.

in both cases, the strength obtained by 30% is increased to be able to win frictions of the axes that move and forces that arise from games wrong blades or broken blades.

the second formulation provides generally lower values than the first.

there are other formulations that indicate even lower values of cutting forces.
did any of you experiment by reading the pressures/forces by knowing uts, t and angle? have you noticed differences on slow and fast machines?other note: the second hydraulics with the cylinders from above have a speed of about 50mm/s and I think they have a fairly slow behavior compared to the shears moved by biella/handle that also arrive at 500mm/s. the energy of blade impact and material to be cut could adversely in the first case and favor in the second case the fracture making it seem lower however the cutting force with a fast machine. I believe that this follows the theory of fracture propagation that is studied in geometric defects or singularities.
I have seen that the big shears, with biella/manovella have often fly with energy up to 10 times what it takes to make a cutting and charging engines with factor 1.5/2 compared to what it would serve.

The side spins and horizontal separation of the blades multiplied by the friction coefficient affect a lot on baskets with bronze/steel lards to suck power to actuators.

it would be interesting to have a match with cutting range above 8-10-15-20mm.

the pulling force is always an estimate based on energy considerations, the inclination of the blade then gives the reduction of the necessary force; However it is a very gross estimate, on many texts it is considered a value that is half the theoretical (where the the theorist would obviously be the cutting tension of the material for the cutting area).

see the example here attached is very similar to your case, [considera che il perimetro di taglio nel tuo caso è la lunghezza intera della lamiera della tagliare Lmax, quindi se poi ci fai anche una approssimazione considerando i+s circa uguale ad i con s trascurabile rispetto ad i e sapendo che i = Lmax*tan(alfa), quindi arrivi alla stessa formula che hai messo a meno del fattore 1/2 che appunto si trova o meno a seconda dei testi].

all these theoretical formulas, however, do not take into account the cutting speed that I think is quite important (and the temperature that I think, however, that unless hot processes is to be considered that environment and therefore influential). It may be that it is assumed that the cutting operation is always very fast and precisely for this reason the factor 1/2 that reduces the necessary cutting force compared to the theoretical. I believe that from mere theoretical considerations cmq because of complexity it is not possible to reach definitive formulas, but always needs a good dose of empirism.

about the flywheel only counts the energy of fluctuation, that is the difference of kinetic energy between speed before and after the cut, in any case I believe that there are always important factors of oversized. Besides, the biella and crank mechanism has neither a force nor a constant speed as it has a hydraulic press.

for the theory cmq a good text is according to me surely the manual of metal forming - 1985 - kurt lange, cap. 24 blanking and piercing.
