0.225 sq inches?
I just spent a few minutes in AutoCad and came up with 0.225" square inches. Just wondering how close I'll be to your number. Obviously yours should be more exact. But, imho, the pic still wasn't sharp enough. I was guessing where the outline was in a few places.

Y8S is right. The correct way to talk about failure due to too much power (power stroke pressure in the chamber -> pushing on the piston -> pushing on the rod) is buckling, which is why I mentioned Euler column buckling above. Static assumptions with pinned ends might be a decent assumption but I would think that the dynamic loads could add significant side loading that would reduce the calculated failure load.
For any of this, correct material properties (alloy, heat treat) are needed. |

Is this a good case for shot peening?
