The document discusses shear stress and shear flow in beams. It covers topics such as shear flow in horizontal and vertical planes, formulas for calculating shear stress, examples of shear stress and shear flow calculations, and shear stress in thin-walled members. Diagrams and equations are provided relating to shear stress, shear force, and bending moment. Calculation of shear stress in a beam of given dimensions carrying a specific load is shown.
