Formula and methodology
Formula: Average shear stress τ = shear force ÷ resisting area; 1 Pa = 1 N/m².
The average stress model divides a supplied shear force by a supplied resisting area. It provides a transparent screening value and deliberately avoids pretending that local stress concentrations or material limits can be inferred from two inputs.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Shear force — N; minimum 0; maximum 1000000000000000
- Resisting shear area — m²; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000000000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Shear force | 12000 |
| Resisting shear area | 0.006 |
12,000 N over 0.006 m² gives 2,000,000 Pa = 2,000 kPa = 2 MPa.
Assumptions and limits
- Force is entered in newtons and area in square metres.
- The entered area is the effective resisting area for the stated load path.
- The force is treated as uniformly distributed for the average value.
- The area is positive and nonzero.
- The result is reported in Pa, kPa, MPa, and N/m².
- Connection geometry, eccentricity, holes, edge distance, and load sharing are not inferred.
- Material strength, safety factors, fatigue, buckling, and code checks are outside this arithmetic.
- A qualified engineer must review a real structural or machine design.
