Like bearing stress, it is also an average stress and the maximum shear will be higher. If a bolted joint has no separation or clearance, a direct shear situation—shear without bending­—can ...

The contact pressure, coupled with friction from the shaft’s rotation, imparts shear stress to the bearing. The maximum shear stress is approximately 30% of P MAX and occurs inside the metal ...

The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”. This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on ...

Testing Tech: Multiple-fastener, single-shear laminate bearing strength testing. Dr. Don Adams (Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc., Salt Lake City, Utah) follows up his HPC January 2008 discussion of ...
