SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on calculating the shear force in a frame due to torsion induced by a motor-driven gear. The key point is that the torque applied will create support reactions, and the shear stress at each plate connection should be calculated as half of the shear stress from the applied torque on the shaft. Standard equations from textbooks or online resources are recommended for determining the necessary material strength to prevent shearing of the frame.
