0 PRESSURE PLATE DESIGN

Wind load, W = 1.60 kPa

Width of glass,b = 1007 mm
Height of glass, h = 2400 mm
Tributary width, tw = 0.5 x 1007 = 503.5 mm
Wind Load on pressure plate, Rz = 1.60 x 0.504 = 0.8064 KN/m
Check for Bending:
Thickness of pressure plate, tp = 1 mm
Eccentricity, e = 17 mm
Considering 1mm strip,
Moment due to eccentricity, M = Rz x e = 0.8064 x 0.017
= 0.0137 KNm
Section Modulus, Syy = 1 x tp2/6 = 0.167 mm3
Actual bending stress of Aluminium pressure plate, fb = M/ Syy
= 0.0137 x 1000 / 0.167
= 82.088 Mpa
Allowable bending stress of 6063-T6 , Fb = 160 MPa
Pressure plate Bending Capacity = fb / Fb
= 0.51 < 1
Hence safe
8.1 CHECK FOR PRESSURE PLATE SCREW

Wind Load, WL = 1.60 kPa

Width of Cap, Wc = 12 mm
Distance between couple Force, Sf = 42 mm
Spacing of Screw, Ss = 300 mm
Distributed Load on Aluminium Fin, w = WL x Wc
= 0.0192 N/mm
Couple Force due to Fin, Rf = w x (0.5 x Wc) / Sf
= 0.002743 N/mm
Diameter of Screw, d = 5.5 mm
Ultimate Tensile Strength of Screw, Ub = 700MPa (As Per AAMA-TIR-A9)
Yield Strength of Screw, Yb = 450MPa (As Per AAMA-TIR-A9)
Number of Thread per mm, Nt = 0.945/mm
Tensile Stress Area, As = 0.7854 x ( d – 0.9743 / Nt)2
= 18.014mm2
Thread Root Area, Ar = 0.7854 x ( d – 1.2269 / Nt)2
= 16.059mm2
Internal Thread Stripping Area, TSAI = 12.258mm2
External Thread Stripping Area, TSAE = 8.387mm2
Allowable Shear Stress on Screw, Fvs = min ((0.4xUb/√3) , (0.75xYb/√3))
= 161.65MPa
Allowable Tensile Stress on Screw, Fts = 0.4 x Ub
= 280 MPa
CHECK FOR SHEAR
Maximum Shear Force Per Screw, Fsmax = w x Ss
= 0.00576 kN
Allowable Shear Force, Fsallow = Fvs x Ar
= 2.595 kN
Shear Ratio = Fsmax / Fsallow < 1
= 0.0022 < 1,
Hence Safe.
CHECK FOR TENSION
Maximum Tension Force Per Screw, FTmax = (2 x (Rz + Rf )- Rf) x Ss)
= 0.613 kN
Allowable Tension Force, FTallow = Fts x Ar
= 4.496 kN
Tension Ratio = FTmax / FTallow < 1
= 0.136 < 1,
Hence Safe.
CHECK FOR COMBINED STRESS RATIO
Combined Stress Ratio = (Fsmax / Fsallow)2 + (FTmax / FTallow)2 < 1
= 0.136 < 1,
Hence Safe.

CHECK FOR TENSION OR PULLOUT STRENGTH

Allowable Shear Strength, V Allow = 95 N/mm2

Length of Screw Engagement provided, LEP = 15 mm
Length of Screw Engagement required, LER = (LEp – (1/ Nt)) x 0.4 x VAallow x TSAI x Nt
= 6.31 kN
Major Radius of Screw, R = 0.5 x d = 2.75 mm
Minor Radius of Screw, r = 2.29 mm
Angle Defining limit of Screw, α = 2 x a x cos(r/R) = 1.174 rad
Ratio of engagement, Re = R2 x ((α-sin(α)) / (∏ x (R2 – r2))
= 26.106%
Effective Length of Fastener, Peff = Re x LER = 1.64 kN
Screw Pullout Capacity, Spcapacity = FTmax / Peff < 1
= 0.405 < 1,
