SHEARING

STRESS
Shearing Stress is produced
whenever the applied load cause one
section of a body to tend to slide past
its adjacent section.

where,
1. The rivet resists shear across its
cross-sectional area.
Single Shear
2. Bolt resists shear across two cross-
sectional areas.
Double Shear

punched out of a plate.
Punching Shear
ΣFy = 0

Example 1
A hole is to be punched out of a
plate having an ultimate shearing
stress of 300MPa. If the
compressive stress in the punch
is limited to 400MPa.
a. Determine the maximum
thickness of the plate from which
a hole of 100mm in diameter can
be punched.
b. If the plate is 10mm thick,
compute the smallest diameter
hole that can be punched.
