Transverse Shear Stress

​Transverse Shear Stress Distribution

Transverse Shear Stress

• ​Maximum Transverse Shear Stress occurs at the neutral axis that is perpendicular to the internal shear load.

  ​

• Transverse shear stress is equal to zero at the furthest point from the neutral axis perpendicular to the internal shear load.​

If the T - beam is subjected to an internal shear load of 12 kip, determine the maximum shear stress in the beam.​

Transverse Shear Stress

Question 1

​

​The beam has a square cross-section and is made of wood having an allowable shear stress of 1.4 ksi. If it is subjected to an internal shear force of 1.5 kip, determine the smallest dimension a of its sides.​

Transverse Shear Stress

​Question 2

The shaft is supported by a smooth thrust bearing at A and a smooth journal bearing at B​. If P = 26 kN, determine the absolute maximum shear stress in the shaft.
