max shear stress = 1.5* average shear shress
tmax/ tavg = 1.5
The resistance offered by the internal stress to shear is known as shearing stress. Shearing stress is zero at extreme fibres of the beam. The bending stresses are maximum at extreme fibres of the beam cross section. Maximum shear stress is 1.5 times that of average shear stress.
