Hi all,
I today learned that for pin design there is a parameter called,crushing stress,where the pulling force of the fork is divided over projected area,I learned that projected area was d*t where d was the diameter of the pin and t was the contact length between pin and the fork being pulled.Can anyone explain me how the area was derived,it seems i cannot understand why curved surface area of the cylinder cannot be taken for it.Or the difference between CSA and projected area of cylinder.
Sorry if I have misstated something and thanks in advance
