Can DOUBLE SHEAR occur in ANY direction?

In summary, the conversation discusses a problem regarding shear stress on a pin and the solution to it. The concept of resultant forces and their direction is brought up, as well as the question of whether shear forces act tangentially. The experts also discuss the significance of bearing and shearing stresses and their importance in calculating principle stress.

i recently came across a problem which has raised a question in my mind...

heres the link to it

http://www.mathalino.com/reviewer/m...aterials/solution-to-problem-119-shear-stress


the Rbh force tries to shear it horizontally while the Rbv tries to shear it vertically.so here in the solution the resultant of these forces is taken.so does it mean that in reality(physcially) the pin will shear IN THE DIRECTION of this resultant force?not tangentially as in the case of horizontal or vertical?

thank you.

What on Earth do you mean by shear tangentially?

Since the arms have weight the pin may well shear horizontally in reality.

However as noted both Rbh and Rbv act across the same areas and so, therefore does their resultant.

sir..are bearing and shearing stresses part of internal forces/loads?
 
  • #4
Think of a material element in the pin and using the reaction load son the pin to find the principle stress.
 
  • #5
yes but i want to know the physical intrepretation of these two stress..why are they important.when do we need to calculate them..
 

Related to Can DOUBLE SHEAR occur in ANY direction?

1. Can double shear occur in any direction?

Yes, double shear can occur in any direction. The direction of the shear force does not affect whether or not double shear can occur.

2. What is double shear?

Double shear is a type of stress or force that occurs when two parallel forces are applied in opposite directions to a material or object.

3. How does double shear differ from single shear?

Double shear differs from single shear in that it involves two parallel forces instead of just one. This makes it a stronger and more stable type of stress.

4. What types of materials are susceptible to double shear?

Double shear can occur in any type of material, but it is most commonly seen in materials that are strong and durable, such as metal or wood.

5. What are some common examples of double shear in everyday life?

Some common examples of double shear in everyday life include bolts and screws, where two parallel forces are applied to hold objects together, and in scissors, where two blades are pushed together to cut through materials.
