    Calculating Shear Strength of a Material?

    How do you calculate for the Ultimate Shear Strength of a Material? I have a SS416 heat treated at 800 (From Machinery Handbook) and now has: Yeild Strength: 150000psi Ultimate Tensile Strength: 195000psi Hardness: C41, 390Bhn One book says: Ult. Shear Strength = 0.57 x Material Yield...

    ACME thread design based on internal pressure

    I am trying to calculate the necessary length of thread engagement for an ACME thread on a pipe (and pipe cap)based on the internal pressure. I have calculated for the Stress Area At for a 1.5-4 ACME-2G from the Machinery Handbook 26th, pg 1794. and then inputed it in the Length of engagement...
