Stress formula

Stress formula

(OP)
This is pretty fundamental to people in this forum but I am not an engineer by trade, I was wondering what the formula for double shear stress in a round pin is, any help would be gratefully received. I know that single shear stress is equal to Load/area, is it true to say that double shear halves the stress due to the doubled area?

RE: Stress formula

The stress is still force divided by area, so doubled area reduces stress by one half.

RE: Stress formula

FYI-Peterson's book has stress concentration factors for the plates in a "close-fitting" pin joint like this Fig 147 & pp135-6
