Best Answer

Shear force is a load (pounds, or newtons) in plane of the object which produces shear stress ( pounds per sq inch, or Pascals).

Shear force is related to shear stress as

STRESS = FORCE/AREA

Define shear stress?

Shear means a change in shape but not in size. Shear stress is defined as the force per unit area producing a change is shape.


How do you convert direct stress to shear stress?

In an isotropic material, a stress in one direction cannot cause a shear stress. In non-isotropic materials it is possible; though an explanation of the equations involved is not realistic via this medium.


Relationship between the shear stress and angle of shear?

Shear Stress divided by the Angle of Shear is equals to Shear Stress divided by Shear Strain which is also equals to a constant value known as the Shear Modulus. Shear Modulus is determined by the material of the object.


What is the ratio of average shear stress to maximum shear stress for a circular section?

the average shear stress is 3/4 the maximum shear stress for a circular section


What are shear stresses?

The forces are equal magnitude but opposite directions act tangent the surfaces of opposite ends of the object the shear stress as force "f" acting tangent to the surface,dived by the "area"{a} shear stress=f/a


What is shear stress in science?

Shear stress in science is a type of stress in which an object that has a force acting upon it is applied to skew. This causes shear strain, which can change the shape of the object.


What is a shearing force?

Shear force is a load (pounds, or newtons) in plane of the object which produces shear stress ( pounds per sq inch, or Pascals). Shear force is related to shear stress as STRESS = FORCE/AREA


Is bending stress and shear stress are same are not?

no


Why shear stresses are maximum at neutral axis?

according to bending stress because shear stress at neutral is 0 that is why shear force is maximum


What are the difference kinds stress?

Normal stress and shear stress


What fault is associated with shear stress?

Strike slip faults and transform faults are associated with shear stress.


Show the diagram of shear stress?

If you define sheer forces acting on an object as the reason for you question then the answer depends on the direction and strength of the sheer forces to be diagrammed
