The formula to calculate the Axial Force (AF) is:
\[ AF = P \cdot \frac{\pi \cdot d^2}{4} \]
Where:
Let's say the internal pressure (P) is 100 lbs/in², and the cylinder internal diameter (d) is 4 inches. Using the formula:
\[ AF = 100 \cdot \frac{\pi \cdot 4^2}{4} = 100 \cdot \pi \cdot 4 = 1256.64 \, \text{lb-f} \]
So, the axial force is approximately 1256.64 lb-f.
Definition: Axial force is the force acting along the axis of an object.
Formula: \( F = \frac{P}{A} \)
Example: \( F = \frac{1000}{50} \)
Definition: Axial force can be calculated from the torque applied to a screw or bolt.
Formula: \( F = \frac{T}{K \cdot d} \)
Example: \( F = \frac{50}{0.2 \cdot 0.01} \)
Definition: The axial force in a screw is the force exerted along the axis of the screw.
Formula: \( F = \frac{T}{K \cdot d} \)
Example: \( F = \frac{30}{0.15 \cdot 0.01} \)
Definition: The axial force in a bolt is the force exerted along the axis of the bolt.
Formula: \( F = \frac{T}{K \cdot d} \)
Example: \( F = \frac{40}{0.25 \cdot 0.02} \)
Definition: The axial force in a welded joint is the force exerted along the axis of the weld.
Formula: \( F = \frac{P}{A} \)
Example: \( F = \frac{500}{25} \)
