This video is an introduction to stress and strain, which are fundamental concepts that are used to describe how an object ...

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 ...

If there are no shear stresses present, there is no fluid deformation, and the behavior of a fluid is described by the bulk modulus relating the pressure and the compression strain. In the presence of ...

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 ...
