Thanks nvn!
Yes - I should not have used the term allowable shear stress for the values I stated as I will be incorporating a factor of safety.
We will be using S.S. 316L. Sources I found state that it has a tensile yeild strength (Sty) of 205 MPa (0.2% offset method). In your...
The shear stress in a beam subjected to a point load is constant across the entire length of the beam assuming the load is applied at midspan.
Unless your talking about shear flow caused by bending of the beam. In this case the maximum shear occurs at the location of the applied point load...
I have having dificulty in determining the torsional capacity of a square HSS section. I am designing a shaft for 9.5 cubic yard mixer powered by a 80hp drive at 6 rpm output.
I have calculated the applied torque to be 70,000 ft-lbs (95 kNm). I would like to determine the size of HSS...
