Análisis de circuitos resistivos mixtos.

Introduction
To understand this type of problem, try to visualize the surface that will
be created when the slotted slug is punched from the plate. Shear
stress acts on surfaces parallel to the direction of the applied force.
For hole punching problems, the area subjected to shear stress is the
product of the plate thickness and the perimeter of the slotted slug. The
perimeter is highlighted in yellow for the slotted slug shown.

Calculation
The perimeter of the slotted slug is 3.1 in, and the thickness of the plate
is 0.04000 in. Therefore, the area subjected to shear stress is 0.1228
in².

The shear strength (i.e., the shear stress at which the metal ruptures) is
2.5 psi. The force required to punch the slotted slug is found by
multiplying the shear strength by the area in shear:

2.5 psi × 0.1228 in² = 0.3052 lb

Summary
