  • Stress/strain

    The system is subjected to compressive stress due to the forces F. The pin is subjected to a shearing stress and the collar is also subjected to a shearing stress. Transmission of force takes place as shown in the above fig.

  • Mechanics : Ten Problems

    Modulus of rigidity = Tangential stress/Shearing strain Shearing strain = Tangential stress/ Modulus of rigidity Tangential stress = 3500/(0.1x0.25) = 14 x 10^4 N/m2 Shearing strain = 14x10^4/5.4x10^9 = 2.6x10^-5 By definition, shearing
