The internal shear force V at a certain section of an aluminum beam is positive 8 kN , as shown below. If the beam has the cross section shown:
a. Determine the shear stress at point H , which is located 30 mm above the bottom surface of the tee shape. Draw a stress element in the x-y plane, showing the shear stress at this point. Include coordinate axes and label the stresses, showing proper direction and magnitude.
b. Determine the maximum horizontal shear stress in the tee shape. Draw a stress element in the x-y plane, showing the shear stress at this point. Include coordinate axes and label the stresses, showing proper direction and magnitude. Label the location of the stress element on each figure below (or on your own sketches).
