Hi I know the general equation for shear stress in beams is this: Shear Stress τ = F/Ib ∫y dA Depending on the shape of the cross section (ie. If its an I beam, T-beam, hollow square/circle) , after integration we will end up with a different equation. I want to know the exact procedure to...

It is said that the stress tensor \mathbf T for a fluid at rest is diagonal. Why is this? The fact that the fluid is at rest means there is no net force, i.e. the body and surface forces cancel each other: 0 = \mathbf F + \nabla \cdot \mathbf T, but from this condition is does not follow...

So i have a stub axle shaft, I have determined maximum bending stress at several locations and the bending moments, my question is how do you calculate shear stress in a cantilevered beam? I assumed the shear would be longitudinal along the shaft. Thanks for any assistance given.

I have the problem below, my question is what should the shear force diagram look like, I know its just a simple cantilever so does that mean the shear force diagram will be very rectangular looking?
