This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on the x-face of a stress element at “a” in the positive y-direction. In class, we have used the Euler-Bernoulli theory of beams to ...

To calculate bearing stress, divide the force over the contact area ... A bending stress on a beam can increase tensile and shear stresses on the bolts. (For a way to visualize bending in a ...

CONCLUSION: Shear stresses play an important role in the Euler-Bernoulli theory for the bending of beams when shear force resultants exist at a given cross section.
