Shear Force for Rectangular Section Formula Elements

Variables
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.
Moment of Inertia of Area of Section
Moment of inertia of area of section is a geometric property that measures how a cross-section’s area is distributed relative to an axis for predicting a beam’s resistance to bending and deflection.
Symbol: I
Measurement: Second Moment of AreaUnit: m⁴
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Shear Stress in Beam
Shear stress in beam is the internal stress that arises from the application of shear force and acts parallel to the cross-section of the beam.
Symbol: 𝜏
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
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
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Distance from Neutral Axis
Distance from neutral axis in a beam is the perpendicular distance from the neutral axis to a specific point within the beam’s cross-section. It is an imaginary line where the bending stress is zero.
Symbol: σ
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
