AI Thread Summary
To calculate the shear stress for a glued solid rod in a hole, the shear stress formula τ=F/A is applied, where A is the area of the glued annulus. The annulus area is determined using the formula A = π((D2/2)^2-(D1/2)^2). Observed forces and calculated shear values indicate that the shear stress can be significantly high, depending on the applied force and the dimensions of the glued area. It is crucial to consider the length of the glued section to accurately determine the surface area of the glue bond. The discussion emphasizes that the shear area should be calculated based on the rod's circumference and the depth of the hole, not just the end area.

Homework Statement


A Solid rod with .375 in. D sits glued in the hole with .38 in. D. There is glue only on the annulus of the rod. A force is applied to the back side of the rod until the glue bond is fully sheared and the rod falls out.

I don't have anyone around to check my numbers and these values seem really large

The shear stress depends on the area of the glued surface around the rod, not the end area, You will need to be given the length of the glued section of the rod (the embedded depth or hole depth) to solve the problem by finding the surface area of the glue.

( If its super glue, it'll pull out pretty easily, because although it has pretty good tensile strength, it has rotten strength in shear)!:smile:
 
Ok so I need to change my stress formula to tau=Force/(width of the bond (D2-D1) * height of the bond)
in the first case it would be 219.9 lbf /(.005 in.*.27 in.)=162888.9 psi

I've been looking around most everything I've seen are lap joints
 
No, you are not taking the inner surface area at the glue/rod interface. Picture unwrapping the glue into a flat shape. The surface area is the rod circumference times the hole depth. Shear areas are parallel to the shear forces.
