Home/Calculators/Mechanical/Shear Stress in a Shaft
where:
τ = Shear stress (Pa)
T = Torque on the shaft (Nm)
J = Polar moment of inertia (m4)
r = Radius of the shaft (m)
- The shaft material is homogeneous.
- The material behaves elastically.
- The deformations do not change the shaft geometry.
- There are no stress concentrations.
