26.1 TYPES OF STRESS


À  p

Consider an example of using a pair of scissors ("shears") to cut a piece of metal,





Consider the simple example given below,



These calculations are commonly used when examining rivets and bolts. Consider the figure below with the bolt in single shear.



Now consider a bolt that is exposed to double shear. Below we can see a section view of a pin through two members.



We may also consider how the force on a pin effects the surrounding material. In the figure below we are finding the bearing stress. In this case the bearing stress will be a normal stress.



The baering stress as shown only needs to be considered when the member is in tension.
