Shear Stresses Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Shear Stress = Specific Weight of Liquid*Piezometric Gradient*Radial Distance/2
𝜏 = γ_f*dh_/dx*d_radial/2
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Shear Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - The Shear Stress refers to the force tending to cause deformation of a material by slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the imposed stress.
Specific Weight of Liquid - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - The Specific Weight of Liquid refers to the weight per unit volume of that substance.
Piezometric Gradient - The Piezometric Gradient refers to the measure of the change in hydraulic head (or piezometric head) per unit distance in a given direction within a fluid system.
Radial Distance - (Measured in Meter) - The Radial Distance refers to the distance from a central point, such as the center of a well or pipe, to a point within the fluid system.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Specific Weight of Liquid: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Piezometric Gradient: 10 --> No Conversion Required
Radial Distance: 9.2 Meter --> 9.2 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

𝜏 = γ_f*dh_/dx*d_radial/2 --> 9810*10*9.2/2

Evaluating ... ...

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.
