Question: Power Screw Design Case Study For the C clamp shown below, a force is applied at the end of the 3 8 - in diameter

Power Screw Design Case Study
For the C clamp shown below, a force is applied at the end of the 38-in diameter handle.
The screw is a 34 in-6 Acme thread, and is 10 in long overall, with a maximum of 8 in possible in the clamping region.
The handle and screw are both made from cold-drawn AISI 1006 steel.
The coefficients of friction for the screw and the collar are 0.15.
The collar, which in this case is the anvil striker's swivel joint, has a friction diameter of 1 in .
It is desired that the handle will yield before the screw will fail.
Sketch free body diagrams, state all assumptions, and explain calculations step by step:
(a) Determine the maximum force that can be applied to the end of the handle to reach the point of yielding of the handle. [5]
(b) Using the force from part (a), determine the clamping force. [5]
(c) Using the force from part (a), determine the factor of safety for yielding at the interface of the screw body and the base of the first engaged thread, assuming the first thread carries 38% of the total clamping force. [10]
