    This document discusses the approximate relationships between shear and tensile strengths for various metals. It provides ratios comparing ultimate shear strength to ultimate tensile strength and shear yield point to tensile yield strength. For example, it states that for wrought steel and alloy steel, the ultimate shear strength is approximately 0.75 times the ultimate tensile strength, and the shear yield point is approximately 0.58 times the tensile yield strength. The document notes that these are very approximate relationships to use only as a rough estimate if no other data is available. It also questions the accuracy of the given ratio for copper alloys and suggests using that value with caution. Finally, it provides some additional reference links containing further strength information for various metals.
