    Shear stresses in beams occur when a beam bends nonuniformly, subjecting it to both bending moments and shear forces. The normal stresses from bending moments are calculated using the flexure formula. Shear stresses, which act parallel to the applied shear force, are assumed to have a uniform distribution across the width of a beam with a rectangular cross-section.

    Shear Stresses in Beams

    Shear Stress in Beams: When a beam is subjected to nonuniform bending, both bending moments, M, and shear forces, V, act on the cross section. The normal stresses, x, associated with the bending moments are obtained from the flexure formula. We will now consider the distribution of shear stresses, , associated with the shear force, V. Let us begin by examining a beam of rectangular cross section. We can reasonably assume that the shear stresses act parallel to the shear force V. Let us also assume that the distribution of shear stresses is uniform across the width of the beam.
