<< The "shear" loading we are talking about
here is not what normally comes to mind when we hear that term, i.e., a
load applied perpendicular to the axis of a shaft. Torsion (or torque)
applied to a circular shaft will produce shearing forces on
perpendicular planes of an element in the part. The combined
perpendicular forces produce resultant normal forces on planes at 45 deg
to the planes experiencing the shear, normal forces that are opposite in
sense - in other words, compressive and tensile forces. >>
HUH !!!???? <befudled grin>
