FAQ

What is the Maximum Shear Stress?
Maximum Shear Stress is the highest stress that occurs in a beam when it is subjected to bending, typically at the neutral axis of the beam. Maximum Shear Stress is usually measured using the Newton per Square Millimeter for Stress. Note that the value of Maximum Shear Stress is always negative.
Can the Maximum Shear Stress be negative?
Yes, the Maximum Shear Stress, measured in Stress can be negative.
What unit is used to measure Maximum Shear Stress?
Maximum Shear Stress is usually measured using the Newton per Square Millimeter[N/mm²] for Stress. Pascal[N/mm²], Newton per Square Meter[N/mm²], Kilonewton per Square Meter[N/mm²] are the few other units in which Maximum Shear Stress can be measured.
