Double Shear Force Calculator

Enter the values of average shear stress, t_ave(N/m2) and area of stress, A_(m2) to determine the value of double shear force, DSF_(N).

Double Shear Force Formula

Double shear force, often encountered in engineering and mechanical contexts, refers to the scenario where a force is applied in such a way that it causes shearing action at two distinct points or planes along the member being analyzed.

Double shear force, DSF_(N) in Newtons is equated by the product of 2, average shear stress, t_ave(N/m2) in Newton per square metre and area of stress, A_(m2) in metre square.

Double shear force, DSF_(N) = t_ave(N/m2) * 2 * A_(m2)

DSF_(N) = double shear force in Newtons, N.

t_ave(N/m2) = average shear stress in Newton metre square, N/m².

A_(m2) = area of stress in metre square, m².

Double Shear Force Calculator:

1. Calculate the double shear force required to shear a bolt with an average shear stress of 40,000N/m² and a cross-sectional area of 0.15m².

Given: t_ave(N/m2) = 40,000N/m², A_(m2) = 0.15m².

Double shear force, DSF_(N) = t_ave(N/m2) * 2 * A_(m2)

DSF_(N) = 40000 * 2 * 0.15

DSF_(N) = 12000N.

2. Assuming a double shear force of 20,000N. is required to shear through a pin, and the cross-sectional area of the pin is 0.25m², calculate the average shear stress.

Given: DSF_(N) = 20000N, A_(m2) = 0.25m².

Double shear force, DSF_(N) = t_ave(N/m2) * 2 * A_(m2)

t_ave(N/m2) = DSF_(N) / 2 * A_(m2)

t_ave(N/m2) = 20000 / 2 * 0.25

t_ave(N/m2) = 40,000N/m².
