Calculate Shear Stress





Formula

The formula to calculate the Shear Stress (τ) is:

\[ \tau = \frac{P_t}{A_{cs}} \]

Definition

Shearing Stress is a type of stress that acts coplanar with the cross section of a material.

Tangential Force is the force that acts on a moving body in the direction of a tangent to the curved path of the body.

Cross-Sectional Area is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional shape is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \tau = \frac{0.025}{0.0013334} \approx 18.7490625468727 \]

The Shear Stress is approximately 18.7490625468727 Pa.
