What is the Maximum Torque Needed for Failure of a Serrated Plate with 48 Teeth?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around calculating the maximum torque required for the failure of a serrated plate with 48 teeth, specifically focusing on a scenario involving two locked serrated plates made of stainless steel. The conversation touches on the theoretical aspects of torque, shear forces, and material properties.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the method to calculate the maximum torque needed for failure, given the specific conditions of the serrated plates.
  • Another participant asks about determining the force required to shear a tooth of the serrated plate.
  • A subsequent reply acknowledges the previous question as a valid approach to the problem.
  • A later post queries whether a solution has been reached regarding the calculations.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not present a consensus, as participants are exploring different aspects of the problem without arriving at a definitive solution.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not provided specific assumptions or detailed calculations, and the discussion lacks resolution on the mathematical steps involved in determining the maximum torque.

If I had 2 serrated plates like the ones in the attached picture locked in place like seen below. How would I go about calculating the maximum amount of torque needed for failure of the part. Assuming it has 48 teeth and is made from stainless steel?

Can you determine the force needed to shear a tooth?
 
yea i guess that works too
 
Did you figure this out?
