Total Shear Force on a plate element in STAAD.Pro
Total Shear Force on a plate element in STAAD.Pro
(OP)
I wonder if the total shear force on a plate element is the sum of SQX and SQY?
Is it correct to say that the total shear force is:
V=SQX x Plate thickness x Plate width + SQY x Plate thickness x Plate width
Appretiate if any one could help me out.
Thanks.
Bill

would be the maximum principal shear force. In general, it would be at an angle to the plate edges. There is also the inplane shear to consider in some cases.
