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:
“In the stress of modern life, how little room is left for that most comfortable vanity that whispers in our ears that failures are not faults! Now we are taught from infancy that we must rise or fall upon our own merits; that vigilance wins success, and incapacity means ruin.”
—Agnes Repplier (1858–1950)
“Agnosticism is a perfectly respectable and tenable philosophical position; it is not dogmatic and makes no pronouncements about the ultimate truths of the universe. It remains open to evidence and persuasion; lacking faith, it nevertheless does not deride faith. Atheism, on the other hand, is as unyielding and dogmatic about religious belief as true believers are about heathens. It tries to use reason to demolish a structure that is not built upon reason.”
—Sydney J. Harris (1917–1986)
