This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on the x-face of a stress element at “a” in the positive y-direction. In class, we have used the Euler-Bernoulli theory of beams to ...

In this video, we're going to take a look at stress transformation and Mohr’s circle. Stress transformation is a way of determining the normal and shear stress components acting at a specific location ...

One theory that is used for the prediction of failure in a ductile material is the maximum shear stress theory (MSS). The basis of this theory is that failure will occur when the maximum shear stress ...

As this feature grows, the shear stress on the material closer to the sample surface increases and the final failure surface in the polycrystalline sample is at approximately 45 0 to the tensile axis, ...
