MECHANICS OF SOLIDS Introduction • Transverse loading applied to a beam results in normal and shearing stresses in transverse sections. • Distribution of normal and shearing stresses satisfies Fx x dA 0 Fy t xy dA V Fz t xz dA 0
M x yt xz z t xy dA 0 M y z x dA 0 M z y x 0
• When shearing stresses are exerted on the vertical faces of an element, equal stresses must be exerted on the horizontal faces • Longitudinal shearing stresses must exist in any member subjected to transverse loading. GIK Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology

MECHANICS OF SOLIDS Determination of the Shearing Stress in a Beam • The average shearing stress on the horizontal face of the element is obtained by dividing the shearing force on the element by the area of the face. H q x VQ x A A I t x VQ It

• On the upper and lower surfaces of the beam, tyx= 0. It follows that txy= 0 on the upper and lower edges of the transverse sections. • If the width of the beam is comparable or large relative to its depth, the shearing stresses at D1 and D2 are significantly higher than at D.

• For a box beam, q grows smoothly from zero at A to a maximum at C and C’ and then decreases back to zero at E. • The sense of q in the horizontal portions of the section may be deduced from the sense in the vertical portions or the sense of the shear V.
