Shear Flow
Calculate thin-wall shear flow and shear stress from shear force, first moment, inertia, and wall thickness.
Shear flow
240,000.00 N/m
240.00 N/mm along the chosen wall path
Wall shear stress
96.00 MPa
Flow direction: positive s-direction
Q / I lever
20.00 1/m
2.50 mm wall thickness
Shear flow
Transverse load becomes wall line load, then shear stress.
240.00 N/mm
Shear flow
240.00 N/mm
Inspect the applied shear, wall path, or stress conversion.
applied shear
12.00 kN
transverse load V through the section
section term
20.00 1/m
first moment divided by bending inertia
wall conversion
96.00 MPa
absolute local shear stress from q / t
