Shear stress, with transverse loading

In the [ 45]j tensile test (ASTM D 3518,1991) shown in Fig 3.22, a uniaxial tension is applied to a ( 45°) laminate symmetric about the mid-plane to measure the strains in the longitudinal and transverse directions, and Ey. This can be accomplished by instrumenting the specimen with longitudinal and transverse element strain gauges. Therefore, the shear stress-strain relationships can be calculated from the tabulated values of and Ey, corresponding to particular values of longitudinal load, (or stress relations derived from laminated plate theory (Petit, 1969 Rosen, 1972) ... 

The [10°] off axis tension specimen shown in Fig 3.23 is another simple specimen similar in geometry to that of the [ 45 ]s tensile test. This test uses a unidirectional laminate with fibers oriented at 10° to the loading direction and the biaxial stress state (i.e. longitudinal, transverse and in-plane shear stresses on the 10° plane) occurs when it is subjected to a uniaxial tension. When this specimen fails under tension, the in-plane shear stress, which is almost uniform through the thickness, is near its critical value and gives the shear strength of the unidirectional fiber composites based on a procedure (Chamis and Sinclair, 1977) similar to the [ 45°]s tensile test. 

During load transfer, large shear stresses are transmitted by the adhesive layer to the adherend surfaces adjacent to the adhesive layer, which entails that shear stress equilibrium at the interface is maintained. These shear stresses trigger adherend shear deformations. Shear stresses are especially significant for adherends with relatively low transverse shear modulus, such as in the case of laminated FRP composites. This theory assumes a linear shear stress distribution through the thickness of the adherend, whereas... 

Because the material properties are direction-dependent in a cubic crystal, they have to be stated together with the corresponding direction. According to the definition, the load direction has to be stated for Young s modulus Ei. Because the shear stress Tij and shear strain -y j have two indices, two indices are needed for the shear modulus Gij. Poisson s ratio relates strains in two directions. Here the second index j denotes the direction of the strain that causes the transversal contraction in the direction marked by the first index i eu = If the coordinate system is aligned with the axes... 

Fig. 9. When subjected to lateral shear loads, transverse shear stresses are required within the beam to allow buildup of axial stresses associated with changing bending moment.

A helical spring of Fig. 5.54 with diameter D — 50 mm and circular section diameter d — 16 mm is made of high strength steel heat treated to 1,400 MPa ultimate strength and fatigue limit oy = 700 MPa. It is subjected to a cyclic load F variable from 500 to 6,000 N. Verify whether it can sustain at least 10 cycles. The generic section is subjected to a torque M, and a transverse component of force F the result in a maximum and minimum shear stress given by... 

The diagrams for transverse shear stresses across the thickness of two five-ply packages, loaded with more prolonged impulses, are presented in Fig, 6, The division was as follows = 30 6 sublayers making up a layer. 

Closed form solutions. Structural adhesive joints are generally designed to be loaded in shear so that treatments of joint analyses are confined essentially to the transfer of load by shear, with some consideration of the transverse normal stresses induced by eccentricities in the load path. In the simplest case the adhesive and the adherends are assumed to behave elastically. The most refined analyses attempt to model the situation when the adhesive yields so that the adhesive and, eventually, the adherends behave plastically as the imposed load is raised. Closed-form analyses are difficult to apply to other than simple geometrical configurations, while a major difficulty with the elasto-plastic model is how to characterise the adhesive.
