Double Shear Force Formula
The following equation is used to calculate the Double Shear Force.
DSF = tave * 2*A
- Where DSF is the double shear force (N)
- tave is the average shear stress (N/m^2)
- A is the area of stress (m^2)
To calculate the double shear force, multiply the average shear stress by the area, then multiply by 2.
What is a Double Shear Force?
Definition:
A double shear force is a system in which a shear force acts equally in two locations across the cross-sectional area of the shear.
How to Calculate Double Shear Force?
Example Problem:
The following example outlines the steps and information needed to calculate Double Shear Force.
First, determine the average shear stress . In this example, the average shear stress is found to be 50 N/m^2.
Next, determine the area of stress. For this problem, the area of stress is found to be 5 m^2.
Finally, calculate the Double Shear Force using the formula above:
DSF = tave * 2*A
DSF = 50*2*5
DSF = 500 N
