FAQ

What is the Average Shear Stress?
Average Shear Stress on a beam is the shear load divided by the area. Average Shear Stress is usually measured using the Megapascal for Stress. Note that the value of Average Shear Stress is always negative.
Can the Average Shear Stress be negative?
Yes, the Average Shear Stress, measured in Stress can be negative.
What unit is used to measure Average Shear Stress?
Average Shear Stress is usually measured using the Megapascal[MPa] for Stress. Pascal[MPa], Newton per Square Meter[MPa], Newton per Square Millimeter[MPa] are the few other units in which Average Shear Stress can be measured.
