the sections of 40x20x5 mm, lengths of 300 mm, are glued together at one of their ends to overlap by 50 mm. The bars
are pulled apart by an external force of 10 kN.
1. Assuming a practically sensible configuration between the bars, which two dimensions, in mm, in ascending order, will be relevant to the determination of
shear stress between the bars?
a.
b.
c. What is the value of the resultant shear force
in N?
d. Find the shear stress at the joint of the bars, in MPa
