Shear Stress in Key given Torque Transmitted Formula

Shear Stress = 2*Transmitted Torque by Keyed Shaft/(Width of Key*Length of Key*Diameter of Shaft using Key)
𝜏_{flat key} = 2*M_t/(b_k*l*d_s)

Define Shear Stress

Shear stress, often denoted by τ (Greek: tau), is the component of stress coplanar with a material cross section. It arises from the shear force, the component of force vector parallel to the material cross section. Normal stress, on the other hand, arises from the force vector component perpendicular to the material cross section on which it acts.
