Width of Cotter by Shear Consideration Formula Elements

Variables
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.
Shear Force on Cotter
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.
Symbol: V
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.
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.
