In this video we explore bending and shear stresses in beams. A bending moment is the resultant of bending stresses, which are normal stresses acting perpendicular to the beam cross-section. We can ...

This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on the x-face of a stress element at “a” in the positive y-direction. In class, we have used the Euler-Bernoulli theory of beams to ...

Here, you can easily see how the laminae slide with respect to each other in the absence of shear stress between the laminae. Beam with shear stiffness Now let's consider reconsider our laminated beam ...
