    This document discusses shear stress in beams. It provides the general formula for calculating shear stress as the shear force divided by the product of the moment of inertia and distance from the neutral axis. It then examines shear stress distributions for different beam cross sections, noting that rectangular and triangular beams have parabolic shear stress distributions with the maximum at the center and outer fibers, respectively. Finally, it provides ratios for calculating maximum shear stress for common cross section shapes.

    Shear Stress in Beams

    General formula

    Where, P is shear force on the cross section

    INA is moment of area about neutral axis

    is distance of centroid of selected cross section from neutral axis

    A is area of selected cross section

    b is the width of the targeted cross section.

    Rectangular cross section
