What is Shear Stress?

Shear stress (tau) is defined as a stress that is applied parallel or tangential to a face of a material, as opposed to a normal stress which is applied perpendicularly.

How to Calculate Shear Stresses?

Shear Stresses calculator uses Shear Stress = Specific Weight of Liquid*Piezometric Gradient*Radial Distance/2 to calculate the Shear Stress, The Shear Stresses is defined as stress or resistance developed with respect respect to boundary condition due to liquid flowing through it. Shear Stress is denoted by 𝜏 symbol.
