how does shear relate to tensile strength

how does shear relate to tensile strength

how does shear relate to tensile strength

(OP)
I'm assuming shear strength relates to tensile strength by 0.6 Fu.  Is this correct, if so where does it come from?

RE: how does shear relate to tensile strength

Physics.

If you want data showing this, look at MIL-HDBK-5 or the ASM Handbooks.

MIL-HDBK-5, Revision J is here:

ASM Handbook Volumes 1 & 2 have what you want for many alloys, available here:

RE: how does shear relate to tensile strength

If you look hard enough you will find that for various classes of alloys the value may be slightly higher or lower than 0.6
It depends on some issues related the structure of the alloy.
