Shear Failure Load on Plate evaluator uses Edge Load per Unit Width = (2*Distance between Rivet and Edge of Plate*Plate Thickness*Maximum Shear Stress)/(Distance between Rivets) to evaluate the Edge Load per Unit Width, Shear Failure Load on Plate refers to the maximum shear force that a plate can withstand before experiencing failure due to shear stress, it occurs when the applied shear force exceeds the material's shear strength, leading to deformation, rupture, or fracture along the plane of the force. Edge Load per Unit Width is denoted by P symbol.
