Questions and Answers

Which of the following statements is true about the shear strength of real materials compared to theoretical values?

  • Real materials have higher shear strength than theoretical values.
  • Real materials have lower shear strength than theoretical values. (correct)
  • Real materials have unpredictable shear strength compared to theoretical values.
  • Real materials have the same shear strength as theoretical values.

What is the equation to calculate the theoretical shear strength ($\tau_{max}$) for real materials in idealistic situations?

  • $\tau_{max} = \frac{Gb}{2\pi a}$ (correct)
  • $\tau_{max} = \frac{2\pi a}{Gb}$
  • $\tau_{max} = Gb + 2\pi a$
  • $\tau_{max} = Gb \times 2\pi a$
