Thanks Cory,
The width of the material is 92 inches, the blade angle as i understand will also affect the Area and the force eventually.
And what do you think would be the proper penetration to fracture?
If anybody please help me telling how to determine the Shear Load (if its the right term) required to cut a strip 0.53 inch thick and has a yield strength of 80,000 psi. Im just confused as others use the shear strength and others use the yield strength when using F=A x Ss. The blade angle is...
hydromech,
Thank you for that input, i will sit down and start look at only what i need.
