Design of thin shear blades for crosscut shearing of wood.

Discusses principles and presents formulations for evaluating the elastic stability of thin plates subjected to edge loadings. Three different prestress methods to increase late stability are presented. A procedure is given to evaluate the elastic stability of thin shear blades under expected shearing loads. 1974 This article is in PDF format (file size: 2544 kb).
