TITLE- SHEAR STRENGTH
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this lab was to find the shear strength of three materials i. e. Steel ,Brass and Aluminum. The values of the shear strength from the table indicate that the steel has maximum shear strength whereas aluminum has least shear strength.
OBJECTIVE
The objective was to know how important is the shear strength while making designs by testing shear strength of three materials.
THEORY
According to H.W. Morrow and Robert P. Kokernak, Statics and Strength of Materials, eighth Edition:

Shear stress is a type of stress which is caused by two forces acting parallel to the cross sectional area and these forces are acting in opposite directions.

Shear strength is the maximum force divided by cross sectional area, where the forces are parallel to the area and both are in opposite direction.

The relation between shear strength and tensile strength is that shear strength is about three-fourths of tensile strength.

    The foundation of Materials Science lies in characterization of a material’s properties. Among those properties the greatest interest lies in the strength of materials, being the most basic requirement for any kind of construction. This lab aims first to describe the strength of 1045 annealed and cold-rolled steel, 2024-T4 aluminum, and cast iron through tensile testing. This includes characterization of yield strengths, modulus of elasticity, ultimate tensile strength, and fracture strength for each material. An emphasis is placed on elastic-plastic deformation in terms of ductility and how temperature and fatigue can affect this transition. Elastic and plastic…

    The Direct Shear Test is an investigation used by geotechnical engineers used to measure the shear strength properties of a soil. It is noted that the shear strength of a material is a term used to describe a materials ability to resist failing in the direction parallel to the applied force, and therefore an important soil property to be noted by engineers. In this lab test ‘Sydney Sand’ is used to determine the relationship between a given load and a change in cross-sectional area and also show the friction angle of the soil specimen, by testing the sample using what is commonly known as a shear box.…

    The effect of eccentricity on the load carrying capacity of single angles was studied with the help of normalised load P/Py vs e/x0 curves for specimens S500 and S1100 under compression causing both major axis and minor axis bending as shown in Fig. 4. The ultimate load was normalised with yield strength of specimens, Py and eccentricity was normalised with x0, the distance of centroid of the angle cross section from shear centre.…

    This report will look at conceptual design for earthquake resisting structures. It will look in depth at a specific structure under a calculated earthquake. The structure will be created as a model using LUSAS modeling software and analyzed to show the building’s behavior under static and dynamic loadings. After an initial model has been created and analyzed, changes will be made to it and re-evaluated to show how changes to the structure cause it to behave differently.…
