Calculating the shear stress at the base of a padeye
Calculating the shear stress at the base of a padeye
(OP)
Should the shear stress at the base of a lift eye (padeye) be calculated using the average shear stress formula or the transverse shear stress formula (sress=1.5*(V/A)) for a rectangular section? The padeye has transverse loading in the plane of the padeye.
Thanks in advance for any help with this question.

RE: Calculating the shear stress at the base of a padeye
Note that if the padeye is tapered, the peak shear stress at the base won't be the maximum peak shear stress, but instead the peak shear stress (1.5*V/A) will increase at cross sections as you move away from the base.
