Resistance of malleable metal to compression between two parallel planes
Abstract
In this note, I aim to find the dependence of the pressure per unit area of metal compressed between two parallel planes on the thickness of the compressed piece of metal, all other conditions being equal. The reason underlying the dependence of pressure per unit area on the thickness of the compressed piece of metal is that during compression, accompanied by an increase in the transverse dimensions of the compressed piece, and consequently in the area of contact between the metal and the compressing planes, a frictional force arises between the compressed metal and the compressing planes. Let us now proceed to studying the effect of this force (see the article).
