You should be given this value, or you can look it up somewhere. Tensile and shear yield strengths are a function of the material properties. For alloy carbon steels, the shear yield stress is aproximately the tensile yield stress divided by the square root of 3. I am not sure if this relationship holds for stainless steel alloys.nileshrathod said:how i can work out the maximum shear stress of 80 mm diameter solid shaft of en 19 alloy steel? i need this in order to work out the minimum shaft diameter that will capable of withstanding the torque applied to it.
Shear stress is the force per unit area that is applied parallel to a surface, resulting in a deformation or displacement of the material.
Shear stress is calculated by dividing the force applied parallel to the surface by the cross-sectional area of the surface that the force is being applied to.
Some common examples of shear stress in everyday life include cutting food with a knife, walking on a slippery surface, and brushing your hair with a comb.
The effects of shear stress on different materials can vary. In some materials, shear stress can cause deformation or failure, while in others it may cause a change in shape or flow of the material.
Shear stress can be reduced or managed in engineering and design by using materials with high shear strength, incorporating reinforcements, and designing structures with appropriate cross-sectional areas to withstand shear forces.
