TOPIC 1: SIMPLE STRESS
Principles and Terms

Shear Stress
Forces parallel to the area resisting the force where V is the resultant shearing force which
cause shearing stress. It differs to tensile and passes through the centroid of the area A
compressive stresses, which are caused by being sheared.
forces perpendicular to the area on which
they act. Shearing stress is also known as
tangential stress.
