    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

    7.1 SHEAR IN STRAIGHT MEMBERS

    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

    As shown, whenshear V is applied,the non-uniformshear-straindistribution over x-

    section will cause itto warp, i.e., notremain in plane.

    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

    Thus, we need to develop the formula for shearstress is indirectlyusing the flexure formula andrelationship between moment and shear(V = dM/dx)

    pt located a distanceyfromthe neutral axis. Assumed tobe constant and therefore

    averagedacross the width tofmember

    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

    x-section at the pt where

    is to be calculated

    x-section of width band height hasshown.

    Distribution of shear stress

    throughout x-section can bedetermined by computing shearstress at arbitrary heightyfrom

    neutral axis, and plotting thefunction. Hence,

    Wide-flange beam

    A wide-flange beam consists

    of two (wide) flanges and aweb.

    Wide-flange beam

    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

    at this ptThe web carries significantly

    more shear force than the flanges

    7.3 SHEAR STRESSES IN BEAMS

    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%

    This is especially so for the flange of a wide-flangebeam

    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

    7.3 SHEAR STRESSES IN BEAMS

    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

    7.3 SHEAR STRESSES IN BEAMS

    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

    Using consistent set of units, substitute data intothe shear formula and compute shear stress

    Suggest that proper direction of transverse shear

    stress be established on a volume element ofmaterial located at the pt where it is computed

    acts on the x-section in the same direction as V.From this, corresponding shear stresses acting onthe three other planes of element can be

    7.4 SHEAR FLOW IN BUILT-UP MEMBERS

    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

    fastener along members length

    Value ofqchanges over the x-section, since Qwillbe different for each area segment A

    qwill vary linearly along segments (flanges) thatare perpendicular to direction ofV, andparabolically along segments (web) that are

    inclined or parallel to V qwill always act parallel to the walls of the

    7.5 SHEAR FLOW IN THIN-WALLED MEMBERS

    IMPORTANT If a member is made from segments having thin

    walls, only the shear flow parallel to the walls ofmember is important

    Shear flow varies linearly along segments that are

    perpendicular to direction of shear V Shear flow varies parabolically along segments that

    Previously, we assumed that internal shear Vwas applied along a principal centroidal axis ofinertia that alsorepresents the axis of symmetry

    for the x-section

    Here, we investigate the effect of applying the

    shear along a principal centroidal axis that is notan axis of symmetry

    When a force P is applied to a channel section

    along the once vertical unsymmetrical axis thatpasses through the centroidCof the x-sectionalarea, the channel bends downwards and also

    the couple (or torque) created by the flange forces

    For each segment, determine the shear flow qat

    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.

    When a load is applied to the member through

    this pt, the member will bend, and not twist
