Shear stress = force/area.

Area = length*thickness.

So, 1/4 shear stress = l*t.

Stress = 4*t*l.

Shear stress = F/A.
F = 1/4, A = L*thickness.

Put the value in given equation,
Shear stress = (4/1)*(L*thickness).

Max.shear stress of plate = 1/4 of max crushing stress.
And plate thickness = t.
We know, shear stress = L*t and crushing stress = d*L.

Therefore,L*t = 1/4 of max. crushing stress.
or, 4*t*L = crushing stress=d*L.
or, 4t = dia of hole.

How is shear stress equal to l*t?

@Akshay I want to explain you about the question.

Actually @Rajesh had done exactly no need again just check once if at all u didnt get that will see.

Shear stress = Pi/4*d2*load.

Crushing stress = load*d*t.

Given that s.s = 1/4*c.s.

Solving this we get d = t/pi.

I couldn't understand this.

If we take a punch punching a hole in a plate then,
Shear stress = P/pi*D*t.
Crushing stress = 4*P/pi*D*D.

When these two are equated with the relation given then we get d=t.
Please tell me where I am wrong?

How could it be @Rajesh there is nothing explained in your answer. Can you please explain it briefly?

Biswajit Roy said:   1 decade ago
Shear stress*Pi*dt = Crushing stress*Pi*d^2/4.

d = t.

If wrong why?

@Uppu Harish perfect answer & absolute correct explanation.

d=t, shall be the correct answer.

Crystal clear depiction of force & area in shear & crush.
