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:
“A society which is clamoring for choice, which is filled with many articulate groups, each urging its own brand of salvation, its own variety of economic philosophy, will give each new generation no peace until all have chosen or gone under, unable to bear the conditions of choice. The stress is in our civilization.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
“Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
