What i'm struggling to get my head around, is why the 300kgf needs to be divided by the number of rods or fixture points? I would have thought that each fixture would need to impart 300kgf(or Newtons equiv value), no matter how many fixtures...they are all imparting the same force evenly. If you go to kgf.cm or Nm values, then over the 'area involved', then needs to be accounted for and thus needs to be divided by number of fixtures over that area???
I have no engineering experience/understanding whatsoever, so struggling with this concept. Is my thinking totally flawed?
To my limited thinking, it shouldn't matter if there is one fixture right in the middle of a compression plate or 4 fixings around the four corners, should they not all apply the same 300kgf?
I would be grateful of any clarification on this.
