Horizontal Shearing Stress in Rectangular Timber Beam Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

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.
Total Shear - (Measured in Newton) - Total Shear is defined as the total shear force acting on the body.
Width of Beam - (Measured in Meter) - The width of beam is the beam width from edge to edge.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Shear: 660000 Newton --> 660000 Newton No Conversion Required
Width of Beam: 135 Millimeter --> 0.135 Meter (Check conversion here)
Depth of Beam: 200 Millimeter --> 0.2 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

H = (3*V)/(2*b*h) --> (3*660000)/(2*0.135*0.2)

Evaluating ... ...

H = 36666666.6666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

36666666.6666667 Pascal -->36.6666666666667 Megapascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

36.6666666666667 ≈ 36.66667 Megapascal <-- Horizontal Shearing Stress

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.
