    Shear Calculation

    The document discusses shear stresses in beams. It explains that the maximum shear stress occurs at the neutral axis and is 50% larger than the average shear stress. It also notes that the shear stress formula is only valid for beams made of linearly elastic materials with small deflections and rectangular cross-sections. The document further discusses shear flow in built-up composite beams, defining shear flow as the force per unit length along the beam axis. Shear flow is used to determine shear forces in fasteners that hold segments of a composite beam together.

    The quantity dM/dx is equal to the shear force V (see Eq.


    4-6), and therefore the preceding expression becomes

    The integral in this equation is evaluated over the shaded


    part of the cross section (Fig. 5-28d), as already explained.
    Thus, the integral is the first moment of the shaded area with
    respect to the neutral axis (the z axis). In other words, the
    integral is the first moment of the cross-sectional area above
    the level at which the shear stress t is being evaluated. This
    first moment is usually denoted by the symbol Q:

    Distribution of Shear Stresses in a Rectangular Beam

    The maximum value of the shear stress occurs at the neutral


    axis (y1 = 0) where the first moment Q has its maximum value.
    Substituting y1 = 0

    in which A = bh is the cross-sectional area. Thus, the maximum


    shear stress in a beam of rectangular cross section is 50% larger
    than the average shear stress V/A.

    Note: they are valid only for beams of linearly elastic materials
    with small deflections. A common error is to apply the shear
    formula to crosssectional shapes for which it is not applicable.
    For instance, it is not applicable to sections of triangular or
    semicircular shape.

    To avoid misusing the formula, we must keep in mind the following


    assumptions that underlie the derivation: (1) The edges of the
    cross section must be parallel to the y axis (so that the shear
    stresses act parallel to the y axis), and (2) the shear stresses
    must be uniform across the width of the cross section. These
    assumptions are fulfilled only in certain cases, such as those
    discussed in this and the next two sections.

    Shear Flow in Built-Up Members

    The integral represents Q, that is, the moment of the


    segment’s area A’ about the neutral axis for the entire cross
    section. Since the segment has a length dx, the shear flow, or
    force per unit length along the beam, is q = dF/dx. Hence
    dividing both sides by dx and noting that V = dM/dx; thus

    Shear flow is a measure of the force per unit length along


    the axis of a beam.This value is found from the shear formula
    and is used to determine the shear force developed in fasteners
