Stress and Strain |
 | | Stress is a value which describes the amount of load carried by each unit of cross sectional area of a component. |
 | | The stress that the 10,500 pound load applies to the shaft is defined as the load divided by the cross-sectional area of the shaft, which is 10,500 pounds รท 0.200 square inches = 52,500 pounds per square inch (psi). |
 | | Then shear stress applied to the bolt would be 20,000 pounds divided by twice the bolt area (because the load is shared by two different cross-sectional areas of the bolt), or 22,634 psi. |
