Beam Width given Horizontal Shearing Stress Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Width of Beam = (3*Total Shear)/(2*Depth of Beam*Horizontal Shearing Stress)
b = (3*V)/(2*h*H)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Width of Beam - (Measured in Meter) - The width of beam is the beam width from edge to edge.
Total Shear - (Measured in Newton) - Total Shear is defined as the total shear force acting on the body.
Depth of Beam - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of beam is the vertical distance between the uppermost deck and the bottom of the keel, measured at the middle of the overall length.
Horizontal Shearing Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Horizontal Shearing Stress is defined as all the forces induced(bending moment, shear stress) in the upper part of the section.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Shear: 660000 Newton --> 660000 Newton No Conversion Required
Depth of Beam: 200 Millimeter --> 0.2 Meter (Check conversion here)
Horizontal Shearing Stress: 36.67 Megapascal --> 36670000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

b = (3*V)/(2*h*H) --> (3*660000)/(2*0.2*36670000)

Evaluating ... ...

b = 0.134987728388328

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.134987728388328 Meter -->134.987728388328 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

134.987728388328 ≈ 134.9877 Millimeter <-- Width of Beam

What is Shear Stress?

Shear stress, the force tending to cause deformation of a material by slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the imposed stress. The resultant shear is of great importance in nature, being intimately related to the downslope movement of earth materials and to earthquakes.

How to calculate the Depth and Width of Beam?

The Depth of the beam (or) height of the beam can be calculated by using the horizontal shearing stress and total shear and the width of the beam applied in the above formula.
The Width of the beam can be calculated by using horizontal shearing stress, total shear and the width of the beam could be applied to the above formula.
