Shear Stress Calculator

Shear stress (τ) is a fundamental concept in mechanics and fluid dynamics that quantifies the force per unit area acting parallel to the surface of a material or fluid element. It describes the internal resistance of a material to deform when subjected to tangential or shearing forces. 

  • τ: Shear stress in the fluid in  N/m²
  • μ: Dynamic viscosity of the fluid in kg/m·s
  • ue: Average velocity of the fluid at the boundary in m/s
  • D: Distance in m
