Question

What is equivalent shear as applied to torsion shear?

Answer 1

Torsional shear is shear formed by torsion exerted on a beam. Torsion occurs when two forces of similar value are applied in opposite directions, causing torque.

Answer 2

Shear force is the force in the beam acting perpendicular to its longitudinal (x) axis. ... The shear forces at the ends of the beam are equal to the vertical forces of the support reactions.
