Average Shear Stress for Rectangular Section Formula Elements

Variables
Average Shear Stress on Beam
Average shear stress on beam is the internal shear stress caused by the shear force applied to the beam.
Symbol: 𝜏avg
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Shear Force on Beam
Shear Force on Beam refers to the internal force that acts parallel to the cross-section of the beam is the result of external loads, reactions at supports, and the beam’s own weight.
Symbol: V
Measurement: ForceUnit: kN
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Beam Width at Considered Level
Beam width at considered level refers to the width of the beam’s cross-section at the point where shear stress or other forces are being analyzed.
Symbol: b
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Depth of Rectangular Section
Depth of rectangular section is the vertical dimension of the cross-section of the beam helps in calculating various stresses and ensuring the structural integrity of the beam.
Symbol: d
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
