hello everyone, this is my first post.
Right now I am trying to figure out which equations to use to solve the following.
I will have a block that will a threaded rod through it. This block will be next to another larger block. In between these blocks are going to be metal samples.
Now here is the cool part, when I turn the thread via gears and such, the block that is engaged with the threaded rod will move and help deform the separate metal samples till failure occurs.
I need to know how much engagement (Le) the block has to have with the threaded rod so failure will not occur.
Some helpful givens:
-I am using steel
-The amount of force needed to break these samples is approximately 300lbs, that is 150 in the opposite directions of the sample.
