Resistance of a tensile metal to compression between two parallel planes

Abstract

In this note, I aim to find the dependence of the pressure per unit surface of a metal compressed between two parallel planes on the thickness of the compressed piece of metal, considering other conditions equal. The reason that determines the dependence of the pressure per unit surface on the thickness of the compressed piece of metal is that during compression the associated increase in the transverse dimensions of the compressed piece, and therefore the area of ​​contact of the metal with the compressive planes, a friction force arises between the compressed metal and the compressive planes . Let us now study the influence of this force (see article).
