Average Shear Stress for Rectangular Section Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Average Shear Stress on Beam = Shear Force on Beam/(Beam Width at Considered Level*Depth of Rectangular Section)
𝜏_avg = V/(b*d)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Average Shear Stress on Beam - (Measured in Pascal) - Average shear stress on beam is the internal shear stress caused by the shear force applied to the beam.
Shear Force on Beam - (Measured in Newton) - Shear Force on Beam refers to the internal force that acts parallel to the cross-section of the beam is the result of external loads, reactions at supports, and the beam’s own weight.
Beam Width at Considered Level - (Measured in Meter) - Beam width at considered level refers to the width of the beam’s cross-section at the point where shear stress or other forces are being analyzed.
Depth of Rectangular Section - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of rectangular section is the vertical dimension of the cross-section of the beam helps in calculating various stresses and ensuring the structural integrity of the beam.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Shear Force on Beam: 4.8 Kilonewton --> 4800 Newton (Check conversion here)
Beam Width at Considered Level: 95 Millimeter --> 0.095 Meter (Check conversion here)
Depth of Rectangular Section: 285 Millimeter --> 0.285 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

𝜏_avg = V/(b*d) --> 4800/(0.095*0.285)

Evaluating ... ...

𝜏_avg = 177285.318559557

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

177285.318559557 Pascal -->0.177285318559557 Megapascal (Check conversion here)

Average Shear Stress for Rectangular Section Formula

LaTeX Go

Average Shear Stress on Beam = Shear Force on Beam/(Beam Width at Considered Level*Depth of Rectangular Section)
𝜏_avg = V/(b*d)

In which section maximum shear stress position is not at the neutral axis of section?

Nevertheless, the maximum shear stress does not always occur at the neutral axis. For instance, in the case of a cross section having nonparallel sides, such as a triangular section, the maximum value of Q/b (and thus τxy) occurs at mid height, h/2, while the neutral axis is located at a distance h/3 from the base.
