Shear Stress Calculator for Circular section

This calculator determines the values of transverse shear stress for a circular section. It determine the values of shear stress at a height "H" from the base. The shear stress diagram is parabolic. In addition, it also determines the shear stress at the top and bottom of the section as well as maximum shear stress which occurs at the neutral axis (N.A.). Please enter the "Input Values" in the form given below and click "Calculate". You should enter all the values in the units as required here and this calculator will provide the "Output Results" in the corresponding units (stress in kN/m2, M.I. in m4 etc.)

Input Values

Diameter "D" of section (m):
Height "H" of section (m):
