What-is-the-difference-between-single-shear-and-double-shear

Answer 1

Single shear:

If plates A and B are connected by bolt C, shear will take place in bolt C in plane DD'. The bolt is in single shear. To determine the average in the plane, s of bolt C and of the portion of the bolt located above the plane is drawn. Observing that the shear P = F, it can be concluded that the average shearing stress is:

(Eq1)

τavg=P/A=F/A

double shear

If splice plates H and J are used to connect plates E and G, shear will take place in bolts K and L in each of the two planes MM' and NN'. The bolts are in double shear. To determine the average in each plane, free-body diagrams of bolt L and of the portion of the bolt located between the two planes is drawn. Observing that the shear P in each of the sections is P = F/2, it can be concluded that the average shearing stress is:

τavg=P/A= F/2A= F/2A

Answer 2

Answer:

Shearing, also known as die cutting, is a process which cuts stock without the formation of chips or the use of burning or melting. ... The most commonly sheared materials are in the form of sheet metal or plates, however rods can also be sheared.
