Problem 1: Derivation of Shear stress in rectangular crosssection Derive an expression for the shear stress distribution in a beam of solid rectangular crosssection transmitting a vertical shear V.
The cross sectional area of the beam is shown in the figure. A longitudinal cut through the beam at a distance y1, from the neutral axis, isolates area klmn. (A1). Shear stress,

Max Shear Stress occurs at the neutral axis and this can be found by putting y = 0 in the equation 1.

Problem 2: Computation of Shear stresses A vertical shear force of 1KN acts on the cross section shown below. Find the shear at the interface (per unit length)
We first find the distance of the neutral axis from the top fiber.

Problem 3: Computation of Shear stresses A 6m long beam with a 50 mm 50 mm cross section is subjected to uniform loading of 5KN/m. Find the max shear stress in the beam
Solution:
max = 3V 2A
We first find the section of maximum shear force. We know this is at the supports and is equal to
5 6 = 15KN 2
We also know that max.shear stress occurs at the centre (for a rectangular cross section) and is 1.5 times the average stress. So,
max = 3 15 103 2 50 50 106 = 9 Mpa
