 Shear stress is the stress state caused by the combined energy

of a pair of opposing forces acting along parallel lines of


action through the material, in other words, the stress caused
by faces of the material sliding relative to one another. An
example is cutting paper with scissors or stresses due to
torsional loading.
Shearing stress is also known as tangential stress.

where V is the resultant shearing force which passes which
passes through the centroid of the area A being sheared.
Example:
What force is required to punch a 20-mm-diameter hole in a
plate that is 25 mm thick? The shear strength is 350 MN/m2
Example:
a hole is to be punched out of a plate having a shearing strength
of 40 ksi. The compressive stress in the punch is limited to 50 ksi.
(a) Compute the maximum thickness of plate in which a hole 2.5
inches in diameter can be punched. (b) If the plate is 0.25 inch
thick, determine the diameter of the smallest hole that can be
punched.
Example:
Find the smallest diameter bolt that can be used in the clevis
shown if P = 400 kN. The shearing strength of the bolt is 300 MPa.
Example:
The members of the structure weigh 200 lb/ft. Determine the
smallest diameter pin that can be used at A if the shearing stress
is limited to 5000 psi. Assume single shear.
Bearing stress is the contact pressure between the separate
bodies. It differs from compressive stress, as it is an internal
stress caused by compressive forces.
 assume that a 20-mm-diameter rivet joins the plates that are
each 110 mm wide. The allowable stresses are 120 MPa for
bearing in the plate material and 60 MPa for shearing of rivet.
Determine (a) the minimum thickness of each plate; and (b) the
largest average tensile stress in the plates.
 The lap joint shown fastened by four ¾-in.-diameter rivets.
Calculate the maximum safe load P that can be applied if the
shearing stress in the rivets is limited to 14 ksi and the bearing
stress in the plates is limited to 18 ksi. Assume the applied load
is uniformly distributed among the four rivets.
 In the clevis shown, find the minimum bolt diameter and the
minimum thickness of each yoke that will support a load P = 14
kips without exceeding a shearing stress of 12 ksi and a
bearing stress of 20 ksi.
 Figure a roof truss and the detail of the riveted connection at
joint B. Using allowable stresses of τ = 70 MPa and σb= 140
MPa, how many 19-mm diameter rivets are required to fasten
member BC to the gusset plate? Member BE? What is the
largest average tensile or compressive stress in BC and BE?
