    calculating the shear area of an rectangle

    it can vary depending on the system, but my guess is that it is simply the geometric area that the shear force is acting over. For a rectangle simply base*height. If this isn't it then describe the situation a bit more.

    Shear vs Bending force

    Be careful in how you compute the bending and shear stresses! The standard BendingStress = Mc/I equation won't be very accurate considering the low aspect ratio of the beam. The ShearStress = VQ/junk will also be not as accurate. This case isn't too far off from a bearing type stress either.

    Ultimate shear and ultimate tensile relation

    1/4-28 bolts. 80,000 psi tensile strength. that's all the information I have from the specs.

    Ultimate shear and ultimate tensile relation

    Is saying that the ultimate shear allowable is approx. equal to 0.6 times the ultimate tensile allowable if only the tensile allowable is known? I'm trying to "fix" a horribly made appendix and I've never encountered this relation before.

    Tension Ratings

    What are the general tension loads or stresses for a 1/4-28 type bolt and a 6-32 type bolt?
