Thickness of Cotter given Shear Stress in Cotter Formula Elements

Variables
Thickness of Cotter
Thickness of Cotter is the measure of how much broad is the cotter in direction perpendicular to axial force.
Symbol: tc
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Load on Cotter Joint
Load on cotter joint is basically the amount of load/force any part or joint, can bear or is acted upon or exerts.
Symbol: L
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Shear Stress in Cotter
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.
Symbol: τco
Measurement: StressUnit: N/mm²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Mean Width of Cotter
The mean Width of Cotter is defined as the average width of the cotter of a cotter joint.
Symbol: b
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
