Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / product data
English term or phrase: MD = 39 IN-LB/IN2
This information describes a product, it says:
Strain energy (Energía de tensión)
MD = 39 IN-LB/IN2

Can you tell me what the measure (39 IN-LB/IN2) means and how should I convert it into cm (or m) and kg? Thanks in advance!!

Spanish translation:6,8 kJ/m2 - see below
Explanation:
I haven't worked through the maths, but the two references below give an approximate conversion factor of 1 in-lb/in2 = 174 J/m2

It is a shear loading.

md = 39 in-lb/in2
39 libras/pulgadas2


Explanation:
Si es presión (F/A) debería ser libra/pulg2. La primera in no se si se refiere a que sea que está medida EN xxx. No veo más opción. La conversión sería lb/in2 (libras x pulgada 2) = 6.805 atmosferes (atm) o 6.895*10 3 newton x metro2 (N/metros2) o
70,3255814 gramos/cm2.

Victoria, fue un malentendido, creí que se trataba de presión.
