Question

How can the direction of shear flow be established?

Expert Solution

Step 1

In solid mechanics, the shear flow is defined as the flow when the transverse shear force acts on a structure and causes an alteration in the normal bending stress on the span of the beam.

In fluid mechanics, the shear flow is defined as the type of flow which is caused due to the forces, as opposed to the forces themselves. In a shear flow, the fluid layers that are adjacent slide over each other at different velocities. The fluid motion is resisted due to a property of the liquid known as the viscosity. The viscosity resists the flow and this leads to development of shear stresses in the fluid.
