Hi 3dDave,
Thank you for the info, to explain a little further which may help.
In the practical application I pull on the bottom wedge using a hydraulic cylinder in the 300kN direction, this moves and pushes the top wedge up, in order to control the movement it pushes against the plate...
Hi Jboggs, thank you for the reply however it is not a productive one. This isn’t homework it’s something I’m trying to calculate for work.
Do you know how to do this?
Hi Guys,
Wondering if someone on here can help me I'm trying to calculate some wedge forces for 2 wedges acting together and the resultant force that comes from the rear of the top wedge. This is for an expanding item. I have attached a sketch which may make more sense.
Thank you in advance...
