Shear Stress in A Semi-monocoque Structure
The equation for shear flow in a particular web section of the cross-section of a semi-monocoque structure is:
- q - the shear flow through a particular web section of the cross-section
- Vy - the shear force perpendicular to the neutral axis x through the entire cross-section
- Sx - the first moment of area about the neutral axis x for a particular web section of the cross-section
- Ix - the second moment of area about the neutral axis x for the entire cross-section
Shear stress may now be calculated using the following equation:
- - the shear stress through a particular web section of the cross-section
- q - the shear flow through a particular web section of the cross-section
- t - the (average) thickness of a particular web section of the cross-section

Famous quotes containing the words stress and/or structure:
“Anyone who wishes to combine domestic responsibilities and paid employment with the least stress and most enjoyment might start by pondering this paradox: the first step to better functioning is to stop blaming herself for not functioning well enough.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“Slumism is the pent-up anger of people living on the outside of affluence. Slumism is decay of structure and deterioration of the human spirit. Slumism is a virus which spreads through the body politic. As other “isms,” it breeds disorder and demagoguery and hate.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
