7.1 SHEAR IN STRAIGHT MEMBERS
Shear V is the result of a transverse shear-stressdistribution that acts over the beams x-section.
Due to complementary property of shear,associated longitudinal shear stresses also actalong longitudinal planes of beam

As shown below, if top and bottom surfaces of eachboard are smooth and not bonded together, thenapplication of load P will cause the boards to sliderelative to one another.
However, if boards are bonded together,
longitudinal shear stresses will develop and distortx-section in a complex manner

7.1 SHEAR IN STRAIGHT MEMBERS
Recall that the flexure formula assumes that x-sections must remain planeand perpendicular tolongitudinal axis of beam after deformation
This is violatedwhen beam is subjected to bothbending and shear, we assume that the warping is
so small it can be neglected. This is true for aslender beam(small depth compared with itslength)
For transverse shear, shear-strain distributionthroughout the depth of a beam cannot be easilyexpressed mathematically

7.2 THE SHEAR FORMULA
The equation derived is called the shear formula
Since Eqn 7-3 is derived indirectly from the flexure
formula, the material must behave in a linear-elastic manner and have a modulus of elasticitythat is the samein tension and in compression
Shear stress in composite members can also beobtained using the shear formula
To do so, compute Qand Ifrom the transformedsectionof the member as discussed in section 6.6.Thickness tin formula remains the actual width tof

is to be calculated

of two (wide) flanges and aweb.

The shear-stress distribution also varies
parabolically over beams depth Note there is a jump in shear stress at the flange-
web junction since x-sectional thickness changes

Limitations on use of shear formula One major assumption in the development of the
shear formula is that shear stress is uniformly
distributed over width tat section where shearstress is to be determined
By comparison with exact mathematical analysisbased on theory of elasticity, the magnitudedifference can reach 40%

7.3 SHEAR STRESSES IN BEAMS
Limitations on use of shear formula
The shear formula will also give inaccurate results
for the shear stress at the flange-web junction of awide-flange beam, since this is a pt of sudden x-sectional change (stress concentration occurs
here) Furthermore, inner regions of flanges are free
boundaries, thus shear stress at these boundaries
should be zero
However, shear formula calculated at these pts will
not be zero

7.3 SHEAR STRESSES IN BEAMS
Limitations on use of shear formula
Fortunately, engineers are often interested in the
average maximum shear stress, which occurs atthe neutral axis, where b/hratio is very small
Also, shear formula does not give accurate results
when applied to members having x-sections thatare short or flat, or at pts where the x-sectionsuddenly changes
It should also not be applied across a section thatintersects the boundary of a member at an angle
other than 90

IMPORTANT
Shear forces in beams cause non-linear shear-strain distributions over the x-section, causing it towarp
Due to complementary property of shear stress,
the shear stress developed in a beam acts on boththe x-section and on longitudinal planes
The shear formula was derived by considering
horizontal force equilibrium of longitudinal shearstress and bending-stress distributions acting on aportion of a differential segment of the beam

IMPORTANT
The shear formula is to be used on straightprismatic members made of homogeneousmaterial that has linear-elastic behavior. Also,internal resultant shear force must be directed
along an axis of symmetry for x-sectional area For beam having rectangular x-section, shear
stress varies parabolically with depth.
For beam having rectangular x-section, maximumshear stress is along neutral axis

Occasionally, in engineeringpractice, members are built-up fromseveral composite parts in order toachieve a greater resistance toloads, some examples are shown.
If loads cause members to bend,fasteners may be needed to keepcomponent parts from sliding relative
to one another.To design the fasteners, we need to
know the shear force resisted by

*7.6 SHEAR CENTER
Procedure for analysis
Shear center
Sum the moments of the shear-flow resultantsabout pt A and set this moment equal to momentofV about pt A
Solve this equation and determine the moment-arm distance e, which locates the line of action ofV from pt A
If axis of symmetry for x-section exists, shearcenter lies at the pt where this axis intersects line
of action ofV

If no axes of symmetry exists, rotate the x-sectionby 90o
and repeat the process to obtain anotherline of action for V
Shear center then lies at the pt of intersection of thetwo 90

CHAPTER REVIEW
Transverse shear stress in beams is determinedindirectly by using the flexure formula and therelationship between moment and shear
(V = dM/dx). This result in the shear formula = VQ/It.
In particular, the value for Qis the moment of thearea Aabout the neutral axis. This area is theportion of the x-sectional area that is held on to
the beam above the thickness twhere is to bedetermined

CHAPTER REVIEW
If the beam has a rectangularx-section, then theshear-stress distribution will be parabolic,obtaining a maximum value at the neutral axis
Fasteners, glues, or welds are used to connectthe composite parts of a built-up section. The
strength of these fasteners is determined fromthe shear flow, or force per unit length, that mustbe carried by the beam; q=VQ/I
If the beam has a thin-walled x-section then theshear flow throughout the x-section can bedetermined by using q= VQ/I

CHAPTER REVIEW
The shear flow varies linearly along horizontalsegments and parabolically along inclined orvertical segments
Provided the shear stress distribution in eachelement of a thin-walled section is known, then,
using a balance of moments, the location of theshear center for the x-section can be determined.
