Shear Stress for Rectangular Section

LaTeX Go Shear Stress in Beam = Shear Force on Beam/(2*Moment of Inertia of Area of Section)*(Depth of Rectangular Section^2/4-Distance from Neutral Axis^2)

Shear Force for Rectangular Section

LaTeX Go Shear Force on Beam = (2*Moment of Inertia of Area of Section*Shear Stress in Beam)/(Depth of Rectangular Section^2/4-Distance from Neutral Axis^2)

Distance of C.G of Area (above Considered Level) from Neutral Axis for Rectangular Section

LaTeX Go Distance to CG of Area from NA = 1/2*(Distance from Neutral Axis+Depth of Rectangular Section/2)

Distance of Considered Level from Neutral Axis for Rectangular Section

LaTeX Go Distance from Neutral Axis = 2*(Distance to CG of Area from NA-Depth of Rectangular Section/4)

Maximum Shear Stress for Rectangular Section Formula

LaTeX Go

Maximum Shear Stress on Beam = 3/2*Average Shear Stress on Beam
𝜏_max = 3/2*𝜏_avg

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 of h/3 from the base.
