Calculate the smallest punch diameter that can be designed for piercing sheet metal strip with the following data. Crushing strength of the punch material is $$1500$$ $$MPa.$$ Thickness of the sheet is $$2$$ $$mm,$$ factor of safety is $$3,$$ and shear strength of the sheet material $$500$$ $$MPa$$ is

A steel wire of length $$100$$ $$m$$ and diameter $$12.214$$ $$mm$$ is drawn to a final diameter of $$10mm.$$ Tensile tests of specimen made before and after the drawing operation gave yield stress as $$200$$ $$MPa$$ and $$400$$ $$MPa$$ respectively,

The yield stress of the steel at a true stain $$0.2,$$ by assuming linear strain hardening law.
