Hello fellow Machinists,
My name is John-Nicholas, and I'm studying in Chemical Engineering.
I need your help because my knowledge in mechanics is limited...
I am currently trying to find a formula to calculate the Force needed to press a 10 grams gold bar. I tried with the Young's Modulus formula, but it does not seem to apply to this case, since I ended up with 1 000 000 kg required... lol
So, does anyone has an idea of the appropriate formula ? I looked in the Machinery's handbook without success. I have the Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, Yield Strength and Ult Tensile Strength values for gold.
Second question, I would like to know what is the best type of steel to use for this application ? A friend of mine told me to use O type steel. The steel must not deform to high pressure but will not have to handle shocks.
Thank You very much in advance.
