This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on the x-face of a stress element at “a” in the positive y-direction. In class, we have used the Euler-Bernoulli theory of beams to ...

Stress distribution on the shaft cross-section For the solid cross-section shaft with material homogeneity on the cross-section, the both the shear strain and shear stress vary linearly with radial ...

This equation is know as the flexure formula. Next we look at shear stresses ... Finally we look at how we can apply the shear stress equation to thin-walled open sections like the I beam ...
