Define Shear Stress
Shear stress, often denoted by τ, is the component of stress coplanar with a material cross section. It arises from the shear force, the component of force vector parallel to the material cross section. Normal stress, on the other hand, arises from the force vector component perpendicular to the material cross section on which it acts.
How to Calculate Factor of Safety given Permissible Value of Maximum Shear Stress?
Factor of Safety given Permissible Value of Maximum Shear Stress calculator uses Factor of Safety of Shaft = 0.5*Yield Strength in Shaft from MSST/Maximum Shear Stress in Shaft from MSST to calculate the Factor of Safety of Shaft, The Factor of Safety given Permissible Value of Maximum Shear Stress formula is defined as the ratio of the ultimate strength of a member or piece of material (as in an airplane) to the actual working stress or the maximum permissible stress when in use. Factor of Safety of Shaft is denoted by fs symbol.
