Contact Interaction Calculators

Rigid Block and Plate Edge Contact

In this calculation, a contact of the rigid block with a length L, and the edge of a plate with a thickness t is considered.

The rigid block is under load F, which is transmitted to the edge of the plate through the contact zone. As a result of calculations, the maximum stresses σ, arisen on the border of the rigid block are determined in the contact zone.

Calculation of Rigid block and plate edge contact

INITIAL DATA

F - Load;

L - Rigid block length;

t - Plate thickness.

RESULTS DATA

σ - Maximum stress at contact area (near the block edge).

Metric Imperial

BASIC FORMULAS

Stress at contact area:

σ = F / [0.16*π*L*t]

INITIAL DATA

F - Load;

L - Rigid block length;

t - Plate thickness.

RESULTS DATA

σ - Maximum stress at contact area (near the block edge).
