The ultimate strength of steel in tension in comparison to shear varies in the ratio of 1.7 to 1.5.
Shear yield stress is 50% of tensile yield strength.
In most engineering applications the relation between the ultimate strength in tension and shear is given by the relation:
σshear = 0.6 σUT
σshear: σUT = 0.6:1 = 2: 3
Shear yield stress is 50% of tensile yield strength.
σyt : τut = 2: 1
