The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”. This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on ...

In this video we explore bending and shear stresses in beams. A bending moment is the resultant of bending stresses, which are normal stresses acting perpendicular to the beam cross-section. We can ...

The hypothesis used in developing the stress and strain in the shaft is that all points on a cross-section of the shaft experience the same angle of twist. The angle of twist for a section of length L ...
