A beam with the following cross section is subjected to a shear force of 10 kN; determine the transverse shear stress at point A and the maximum shear stress
60 mm
12 mm
20 MM S0 Mm
20 mm
Before we continue, let's think about how the maximum shear stress is different from the average stress Calculate the average stress and the percentage difference between the two stresses_ What should we remind ourselves here? Transverse shear stress varies or is constant along the vertical height of the cross section?
