Shear stresses in FEA
Shear stresses in FEA
(OP)
hi, can anyone help me in determining shear stresses at any location on a mesh using FEA? this is a reinforced concrete slab.
Thanks
Thanks

I will not be relying on this output to design on its own merits. I am just after some broad advice before going to formal training.
RE: Shear stresses in FEA
well, so, supposedly the FEM you are using can express stress results at nodes in terms of:
- max, mid and min principal stresses
- stress intensity
- equivalent VonMises stress
- stress components in a chosen reference system
Among the 6 stress components of the last expression of stress, as you know, the first three are normal stresses and the last 3... the shear stresses !!!
Problem is to have a reference system oriented as you need, but that's a thing that depends on the FE program you're using, not on this forum !

What exactly are you trying to do?
If you are designing a concrete slab, why not use shear forces instead of stresses. Or are you working with solids? In that case, another why
