WHAT IS SHEAR CENTRE?

 The shear centre is that point through which the loads must act if there is to be no
twisting, or torsion.

 The shear centre is always located on the axis of symmetry; therefore, if a member has
two axes of symmetry, the shear centre will be the intersection of the two axes.

 For Unsymmetrical sections, the location of the shear centre depends on the distribution
of ζxy and ζ xz have a shear centre that is not located on the member

NEED TO FIND SHEAR CENTRE

 If a beam is subjected to bending moments and shear force in a plane, other than the
plane of geometry, which passes through the centroid of the section, then bending
moment will be accompanied by twisting.

 In order to avoid twisting and cause bending only, the transverse forces must act
through a point which may not coincide with the centroid, but will depend upon the
shape of the section and such a point is termed as shear centre.

PROPERTIES OF SHEAR CENTRE

 Shear centre lays on axis of symmetry

 If cross section is composed of segments converging at a point, the point is


shear centre

 Traverse force applied on the shear centre does not lead to the torsion in thin
walled beam

 Shear centre is the centre of rotation for a section of thin walled beam
subjected to pure shear

 Shear centre is a position of shear flow resultant force, if the thin walled beam is
subjected to pure shear.

HOW TO FIND SHEAR CENTRE?

 Let us assume that load Vy is applied at the shear


centre. Then there will be normal stress distribution
due to bending and shear stress distribution due to
vertical load. There will be no shear stress due to
torsion.
 Consider an element of length Dx of the beam at
section x

SHEAR CENTRE FOR SEMICIRCULAR SECTION

Let us consider a section ‘bb’ defined by the distance ‘s’ measured


along the middle line of the cross section.
The central angle subtended between point ‘a’, which is at the
edge of the section, and section bb is denoted by θ.
Therefore, we have s = rθ, where r is the radius of the middle line.
The first moment of the area between a and bb is
Qz = ∫ydA = θ∫0 (r cosɸ) (rt)dɸ = r2 t sinθ
where t is the thickness of the section.
Thus, the shear stress t at section bb is
т = {(VyQz) / (Izt)} = {(Vyr2sin θ) / (Iz)}

Substituting Iz = πr3t/2, we get


т = {(2Vy sinθ)/(πrt)}
When θ = 0 and θ = π,this expression gives т = 0, and when θ = π/2, we get the
maximum shear stress.
The moment about point O due to the shear stresses т is
T = ∫тrdA = π∫0 {(2Vyr sin θ dθ) / π} = {(4rVy) / π}
which must be the same as the moment due to the force Vy acting at the shear center;
hence,
Vye = {(4rVy) / π}
Thus, the distance e from point O to the shear center is e = {4r / π}
