Splitting Metal
Splitting Metal
(OP)
I'm trying to Figure how to calculate the force needed to be applied to a wedge to split a piece of metal. The metal would be sitting on a flat surface and not constrained in any way (other than the surface it is sitting on) and the wedge would be coming straight down on it. The piece of metal would be a a rectangular prim, and the wedge would be going across the smaller cross-sectional area. I have seen similar threads to this but i didn't see any straight answers come from them.

What material??
They make shears that are designed specifically to do this. Or send it out to fab shop to perform the work??

Don't forget grain direction, wrought/forged/cast, surface discontinuities, etc.
