Shear stress

This mechanics of materials tutorial goes over the concept of shear stress. The example in this video is in “single shear.” The next video will discuss a situation called “double shear.”

i hope that this playlist could be helpful to understand the logic and to pass my strength of materials course that i'm taking once again...

what is the difference between shear stress and average shear stress, and normal stress and average normal stress?

Thanks for your videos. They are my life savior. Presentation is neat and to the point.
I have question regarding the magnitude of shear used in this example. Since 20 KN load is applied on both the sides, shouldn't that be additive at the cross section considered ? Implying shear force considered for stress calculations to be 40 KN instead of 20 KN which would have been the case where load is applied only on one side. Thoughts ?

Hi why do you decided to choose the cross section area by slicing the object vertically but not horizontally? That way you would get a rectangular as the cross section area and the force is acting on the sides too.

Which program are you using as the notebook? I need to do explanation videos for my work and I love how you can color areas and do straight lines and other geometry. I tried looking for the answer in other areas but could not find it.

There are two forces acting on the area how come when we a do a FBD we only use one to determine the stress!

Watched previous videos and came back. You never explained what "tau" symbol is.

your area must have over 4 right?, A= pie d^2 / 4

Great Video, Thank You! Would you mind sharing what software you're using for this Demonstration?
