transverse shear thickness
transverse shear thickness
(OP)
Does anyone know of a formal definition for "shear thickness". For instance, in the Nastran QRG, for shell elements you can define a transverse shear thickness ratio (ts/t) - for which the default is 0.8333. Where does 0.8333 come from? Anyone know? Is 0.8333 taken to be thickness that, when uniformly sheared, will yield an equivalent max shear stress?
