Shearing Stress Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Shearing Stress = (Shearing Force*First Moment of Area)/(Moment of Inertia*Thickness of Material)
𝜏 = (V*Ay)/(I*t)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Shearing Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - The Shearing Stress is a type of stress that acts coplanar with cross section of material.
Shearing Force - (Measured in Newton) - The Shearing force are unaligned forces pushing one part of a body in one specific direction, and another part of the body in the opposite direction.
First Moment of Area - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - The First Moment of Area of a shape, about a certain axis, equals the sum over all the infinitesimal parts of the shape of the area of that part times its distance from the axis [Σ(a × d)].
Moment of Inertia - (Measured in Kilogram Square Meter) - Moment of Inertia is the measure of the resistance of a body to angular acceleration about a given axis.
Thickness of Material - (Measured in Meter) - The Thickness of Material is the distance through an object.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Shearing Force: 42 Newton --> 42 Newton No Conversion Required
First Moment of Area: 4500 Cubic Millimeter --> 4.5E-06 Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Moment of Inertia: 3.5 Kilogram Square Meter --> 3.5 Kilogram Square Meter No Conversion Required
Thickness of Material: 0.015 Millimeter --> 1.5E-05 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

𝜏 = (V*Ay)/(I*t) --> (42*4.5E-06)/(3.5*1.5E-05)

Evaluating ... ...

What is Shearing Stress?

When an external force acts on an object, It undergoes deformation. If the direction of the force is parallel to the plane of the object. The deformation will be along that plane. The stress experienced by the object here is shear stress or tangential stress.

It arises when the force vector components which are parallel to the cross-sectional area of the material. In the case of normal/longitudinal stress, The force vectors will be perpendicular to the cross-sectional area on which it acts.

How to Calculate Shearing Stress?

Shearing Stress calculator uses Shearing Stress = (Shearing Force*First Moment of Area)/(Moment of Inertia*Thickness of Material) to calculate the Shearing Stress, The Shearing Stress formula is defined as the measure of the type of stress that acts coplanar with a cross-section of material. Shearing Stress is denoted by 𝜏 symbol.

How to calculate Shearing Stress using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Shearing Stress, enter Shearing Force (V), First Moment of Area (Ay), Moment of Inertia (I) & Thickness of Material (t) and hit the calculate button.
