How to calculate maximum shear stress in the cross-section of a beam if the neutral axis is not on the thinnest part of the cross-section?

Answer 1

—By the maximum shear stress is then calculated by: where b = 2 (ro − ri) is the effective width of the cross section, Ic = π (ro4 − ri4) / 4 is the centroidal moment of inertia, and A = π (ro2 − ri2) is the area of the cross section.
