The internal specific pressure’ in the eye can be obtained for. the
wrap angle of the eye 2a (Fig. 24a) and the maximum theoretical

Substituting in equation (68) oma by the permissible stress R’,

The allowable stress for link-plates is usually taken as RZ «1000
to 1200 ke/em?,
The dimensions of the link-plate in’ the eye section mm can be
<, alculated for tensile strength with decreased stress according to
‘formula
Stneor = 20 (b — A) Rey (72)
whence,
5S,
o = olige +A. (73)
Hence, the stress in section mm is
om yet Re (74)
The allowable tensile stress R, in equations (72) to (74) may
range to froin 600 to 750 kg/em?.
Since the eyes of the inner link-plates are larger than those of
the outer, compressive stress is most critical for the outer [sce
— equation (69)] and tensile stress for the’ inner 'link-plates [see
equation (71) or (74)].
. In offset-link bush chains the section of the link-plates (see
Fig. 18) should be calculated to withstand the sum of the tensile
and bending stresses acting upon it, Roughly these may be esti-
mated as
