1. A 200 mm wide, 500 mm long, and 10 mm thick strip is compressed between two flat dies
in plane strain such that the dimension 500 remains constant. The coefficient of friction
between die and the strip is 0.1 and yield strength of material in compression is σ0 = 200
N/m2. Determine the mean die pressure and the maximum die pressure. Find the mean and
maximum die pressures when µ is changed to half.
[ANS: Case 1: Xs = 19.5 mm (+ve); Pt = 73141239 N; Pm = 731.4 N/mm2; Pmax = 1605.7
N/mm2; Case 2: Xs = -ve value; Pm = 397 N/mm2; Pmax = 628 N/mm2]
Note:
First, find XS from the equation derived.
If it is +ve, then both sliding and sticking friction exists.
If –ve, then no sticking (only sliding friction exists). Depending on this, you need
to choose the equations.
Case 1: For +ve XS , use
1 2 X s h 2 ( L Xs )
P ' b X e h
1
Total die load, t 0 s
h
Average die pressure, Pm Pt / 2bL
K Xs x
Die pressure distribution, Px 2K .
h
(the above three equations are not derived. We derived equation for Xs only.)
Case 2: For -ve XS , use equations for Px, Pt, Pm derived in notes for sliding friction case.
2. A circular disc of 150 mm diameter and 100 mm thick is compressed between two well
lubricated flat dies. Find the maximum die pressure and average die pressure if µ = 0.1,
and compressive yield strength = 230 N/mm2.
[Ans: Rs = -801 mm (-ve value); Pmax = 267 N/mm2; Pav = PT/area of disc = 242 N/mm2]
Note: same procedure followed in problem 1.

Pmax can be obtained from Pr equation provided for sliding friction in class notes. (you are
required to derive this as part of class discussion)
Pav can be derived from PT that can be obtained by integrating Pr over the contact area. (you
are required to derive this as part of class discussion)
3. An aluminium disc of 80 mm diameter and 32 mm thickness is compressed to 8 mm
thickness. Assuming µ = 0.2 and σ0 = 100 N/mm2, find the average die pressure at the end
of compression.
[Ans: Diameter after compression = 160 mm; Rs = 59 mm (+ve value); Use the following
equation for Pm; Pm = 388.4 N/mm2]
Note:
You need to use the final diameter (or radius) after compression in the equation.
