shear area calculator/program for threads(stub acme's)?

(OP)
Does anyone have a calculator or program that calculates the shear area on stub acme threads? I have an old dos version that calculates shear areas for stubs, acme's and V's, but I have to run a virtual window to access it since it is 32 bit. I may have to create a spreadsheet in the end, but thought I would ask. Thanks for any input or recommendations.

RE: shear area calculator/program for threads(stub acme's)?

I have one, passed around the industry in the day, that was written based on the ASME/AISI codes. Why not write one from those Acme, Stub Acme, Buttress and UN Specifications? Or get a boot leg copy of the above program somewhere off the net.

Sturni-Hueston Engineering Ltd stopped providing open software after threat of a suit involving an inexperienced engineer mis-designing equipment. The claim was the software was incorrect, hence the failure of equipment. That prooved false, the engineer lost his license to practice and I was left with a valuable memory and an expensive education from my attorney.

Try Gagemaker, they give you the necessary information from which the equations can be used.

Cockroach

thanks dfox. Good stuff. Looks like I need to buy a new machineries handbook. Mine is at least 10 years old.
