The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”. This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on ...

Focus, in particular, on the deflection at the right end of the beam, as seen below. Here, you can easily see how the laminae slide with respect to each other in the absence of shear stress between ...

In this video we explore bending and shear stresses in beams. A bending moment is the resultant of bending stresses, which ...

The beam length L and displacement tolerance D 0 at the free end of the beam are problem constants, with values L = 100 inches, and D 0 = 2.2535 inches. The parameters w and t are width and thickness ...
