Explain the following types of stresses a) Transverse shear stress b) Compressive stress c) Torsional shear stress

Explanation of stresses :

a) Transverse shear stress: When a section is subjected to two equal & opposite forces acting tangentially across the section such that it tends to shear off across the section. The stress is produced is called as transverse stress For Single shearing, Shear stress Ʈ = W/A For Double shearing, Shear stress Ʈ = W/2A

b)Compressive stress: When a body is subjected to equal & opposite axial push forces, the stress produced is called as compressive stress. It is denoted by “ σc”
