Problem Set Shear Stress and Bearing Stress

1) Shearing stress is caused by forces parallel to the area resisting the force, unlike tensile and compressive stresses which are caused by forces perpendicular to the area. 2) Bearing stress is the contact pressure between separate bodies in contact, such as the pressure between a bolt and plate at a joint. It differs from compressive stress which is an internal stress. 3) The document provides examples of calculating shearing stress, bearing stress, minimum plate thickness, and bolt/rivet diameter required to support given loads without exceeding specified stress limits.

Forces parallel to the area resisting the force cause
shearing stress. It differs to tensile and compressive stresses,
which are caused by forces perpendicular to the area on which
they act. Shearing stress is also known as tangential stress.
