The cross sectional area of the beam is shown in the figure. A longitudinal cut through the
beam at a distance y1, from the neutral axis, isolates area klmn. (A1).

Max Shear Stress occurs at the neutral axis and this can be found by putting y = 0 in the
equation 1.

Solution:
Formula used:
q = VQ/I
We first find the distance of the neutral axis from the top fiber.
All dimensions in mm
y NA =
20 100 10 + 20 100 70
= 40mm
20 100 + 20 100
Q = 20 x 100 x 30 = 6 x 104

We first find the section of maximum shear force. We know this is at the supports and is
equal to
5 6
= 15KN

We also know that max.shear stress occurs at the centre (for a rectangular cross section)
and is 1.5 times the average stress.
So,
max =
