Simple Stress - Shearing and Bearing Stress

Question 1

Forces parallel to the area resisting the
force cause shearing stress. It differs to tensile
and compressive stresses, which are caused by
forces perpendicular to the area on which they
act.

Answer 1

Shearing Stress

Question 2

Shearing stress is also known as

Answer 2

Tangential
stress

Question 3

Where V is the resultant shearing force which passes through
the centroid of the area A being sheared.

Answer 3

T = V/A

Question 4

Is the contact pressure between the
separate bodies. It differs from compressive stress, as it is
an internal stress caused by the compressive forces.

Answer 4

Bearing stress

Question 5

Formula of Bearing Stress

Answer 5

S = Pb/Ab ; S = Pb/dt
