Force Calculation for Wire Drawing

This problem involves calculating the force required to pull a varnish-coated wire through a die. The governing equations relate shear stress to velocity gradient and force balance to acceleration. Assuming laminar flow and a linear velocity profile, the friction force equation is derived and set equal to the pulling force to solve for the required force. The calculation determines the force is 2.83 N.

Problem 2.

53 [Difficulty: 2]

Given: Varnish-coated wire drawn through die

Find: Force required to pull wire r


F
x d D

Solution:
du
Governing equations: τyx = μ⋅ ΣFx = M ⋅ ax
dy L

Assumptions: Laminar flow; linear velocity profile in varnish layer

m −2
The given data is D = 1 ⋅ mm d = 0.9⋅ mm L = 50⋅ mm V = 50⋅ μ = 20 × 10 poise
s

Equation of motion ΣFx = M ⋅ ax so F − Fv = 0 for steady speed

du V
The friction force is Fv = τyx⋅ A = μ⋅ ⋅ A = μ⋅ ⋅ π⋅ d ⋅ L
dr ⎛D − d⎞
⎜
⎝ 2 ⎠

Hence F − Fv = 0

2 ⋅ π⋅ μ⋅ V⋅ d ⋅ L
so F =
D− d

−2 0.1⋅ kg m 1 m
F = 2 ⋅ π × 20 × 10 poise × × 50⋅ × 0.9⋅ mm × 50⋅ mm × ×
m⋅ s⋅ poise s ( 1 − 0.9) ⋅ mm 1000⋅ mm

F = 2.83 N
