Chapter 17, Problem 17.59DP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The strength for manufacturing of given electrical-contact material and its design process should be determined.

Concept introduction:

The strength of fiber, ${\text{τ}}_{\text{i}}$ is calculated as:

  ${\text{τ}}_{\text{i}}\text{=}\frac{{\text{σ}}_{\text{f}}\text{d}}{{\text{2l}}_{\text{c}}}$

Where, d is diameter

  ${\text{l}}_{\text{c}}$ is critical fiber length of the bond

  ${\text{σ}}_{\text{f}}$ is stress
