In general: ductile materials (e.g. aluminium) fail in shear, whereas brittle materials (e.g. cast iron) fail in
tension. See tensile strength.
To calculate:
Given total force at failure (F) and the force-resisting area (e.g. the cross-section of a bolt loaded in shear),
ultimate shear strength ( ) is:
Comparison
As a very rough guide relating tensile, yield, and shear strengths:[1]
Material Ultimate Strength Relationship Yield Strength Relationship
USS: Ultimate Shear Strength, UTS: Ultimate Tensile Strength, SYS: Shear Yield Stress, TYS: Tensile Yield Stress
When values measured from physical samples are desired, a number of testing standards are available,
covering different material categories and testing conditions. In the US, ASTM standards for measuring shear
strength include ASTM B831, D732, D4255, D5379, and D7078. Internationally, ISO testing standards for
shear strength include ISO 3597, 12579, and 14130.[3]
