6.1 Transverse loading applied to abeam will result in normal and shearing stresses in any given transverse section of the beam .The normal stresses are created by the bending couple “M” and the shearing stresses by the shear “V” .

The first of these equations shows that vertical shearing stresses must exit in a transverse section of a beam under transverse loading .The second equation shows that the average horizontal shear stresses in the section = 0So ,we conclude that shearing stresses in the horizontal plan = 0 = 0 (in the horizontal plan) .

• A force P is applied .So ,planks are observed to slide with respect to each other .

• M is applied ,no shear happens ,no slide planks .

• We call shearing force in horizontal face

in the direction shown before in x .

• q is the shear per unit length “shear

flow” .
