OK Trainguy this is very plain! but for people that are not a smart as you I have to state with:
Shear Stress and Bearing Stress
A force acting parallel or tangential to a section taken through a material (i.e. in the plane of the material) is called a shear force. The shear force...
A beam is said to be in a state of pure bending when it is subjected to only bending moment and the shear force is zero. Because the shear force, V = 0 and recalling the expression dM/dx = V = 0, this implies that pure bending refers to flexure of a beam under a constant bending moment. In...
The problem of transmitting a torque or rotary motion from one plane to another is frequently encountered in machine design. Typically, circular bars are used for such transmissions chiefly because in these bars a plane section before twisting remains plane after twisting, i.e. there is no...
