Plane stress is defined to be a state of stress in which the normal stress and the shear stresses directed perpendicular to the plane are assumed to be zero.
EK676
Especially for rough interfaces, shear stresses lead to crack openings with vertical displacements longitudinal strain develop in the reinforcing bars. If the reinforcement bars are sufficiently anchored at both sides […]
EK525
Uniform torsion embrace cross-sectional shear stresses whereas warping torsion embrace shear and normal (out of plane) stresses.
EK521
When an assembly of particles in a very loose packing is being loaded by shear stresses, there will be a tendency for volume decrease. This is called contractancy.
EK514
In a fluid at rest no shear stresses can be transmitted. This means that the pressure is the same in all directions.
EK485
The porewater cannot sustain shear stresses, and therefore, the soil solids must resist the shear forces.
EK483
The principle of effective stresses applies only to normal stresses and not to shear stresses.
EK446
Calculation of the stresses in a thin shell generally is carried out in two major steps, both usually involving the solution of differential equations. In the first, bending and torsion […]
EK369
The provision of vertical stiffeners enables the web to sustain shear stresses well in excess of its unstiffened elastic critical shear stress. Furthermore, additional strength is obtained as a consequence […]
EK352
Pure shear: only shear stresses act on an element.
EK337
The form of the distribution of shear stresses is dependent on the shape of the cross-section of the beam, and on the direction of application of the shearing force.
EK291
For doubly reinforced concrete T beam, the distribution of shear stresses is as shown below.
EK290
For singly reinforced concrete T beam, the distribution of shear stresses is as shown below.
EK289
For doubly reinforced concrete beam, the distribution of shear stresses is as shown below.
EK287
The distribution of shear stresses according to elastic theory for a homogeneous rectangular beam is as shown below.
EK220
Both components of torsion produce shear stresses parallel to the walls of the section, and their combined effects can locally be greater than the effects of St. Venant alone.
EK216
Torsion in a section can be generated by a transverse load if the resultants of the shear stresses in the elements of the section produce torque. To counteract this, the […]
EK201
A basic assumption in shear friction method is that a crack will form at a potential failure plane where direct shear stresses are high or at actual planes of weakness […]
EK120
Torsional moments produce shear stresses which result in principal tensile stresses inclined at approximately 45 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the member. Diagonal cracking occurs when these tensile stresses […]
