How Do You Calculate Shear Stress in a Circular Bar Under Axial Compression?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate shear stress in a circular bar under axial compression, first determine the normal stress using the formula stress = Force/Area, where the area is the cross-sectional area of the bar. For a circular bar with a diameter of 0.05m and an axial load of 150,000 N, the maximum normal stress can be calculated. Shear stress is also derived from the applied force but requires identifying the area and resolving the force components. It is essential to clarify the area of interest and the direction of the applied force to compute shear stress accurately. Understanding these principles is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

Stress's for circular bar?
Calculate the maximum normal and shearing stresses

of a circular bar with diameter 0.05m and axial compression load of 150000 N ..

I know for stress = Force / Area, how do you solve for shear stress?

Good evening Rieck and welcome to Physics Forums.

All stress is Force/Area, you just have to take the correct force and area.

Did you miss the lecture on shear stress?

Look at my diagram of your bar.

What is the stress on the area perpendicular to the applied force (area1)?
What is the stress parallel to the area perpendicular to the applied force?

What is the force applied to the area of section SS.

Can you resolve this applied force perpendicular and parallel to SS?

What is the area of SS

So what is the shear stress on SS?

If you can write down a formula for this shear in terms of P and the angle theta how do you find the maximum of an equation?

there is no angle involved in this problem.

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'

Thread 'What type of toilet do I have?'

I was enrolled in an online plumbing course at Stratford University. My plumbing textbook lists four types of residential toilets: 1# upflush toilets 2# pressure assisted toilets 3# gravity-fed, rim jet toilets and 4# gravity-fed, siphon-jet toilets. I know my toilet is not an upflush toilet because my toilet is not below the sewage line, and my toilet does not have a grinder and a pump next to it to propel waste upwards. I am about 99% sure that my toilet is not a pressure assisted...

Thread 'Thread No-Go plug gage allows 3 turns to enter. That's too many!'

After over 25 years of engineering, designing and analyzing bolted joints, I just learned this little fact. According to ASME B1.2, Gages and Gaging for Unified Inch Screw Threads: "The no-go gage should not pass over more than three complete turns when inserted into the internal thread of the product. " 3 turns seems like way to much. I have some really critical nuts that are of standard geometry (5/8"-11 UNC 3B) and have about 4.5 threads when you account for the chamfers on either...
