Difference between Axial Load and Shear Load

Axial Load aur Shear Load mein difference:

  1. Axial Load:
  • Ye woh force hai jo structure ke axis (center line) ke parallel lagti hai.
  • Iska kaam structure ko compress (dabana) ya stretch (kheenchana) karna hota hai.
  • Types:
    • Compression load: Structure ko dabata hai (jaise column pe weight).
    • Tensile load: Structure ko kheenchta hai (jaise rope mein tension).
  • Example: Ek pillar pe building ka weight (compression) ya ek cable bridge ka tension.
  1. Shear Load:
  • Ye woh force hai jo structure ke cross-section ke perpendicular ya transverse direction mein lagti hai.
  • Iska kaam structure ko cut ya slide karne ki koshish karna hota hai, jaise kataai ka effect.
  • Ye usually structure ke ek hisse ko dusre hisse ke against shear (slip) karne ka kaaran banta hai.
  • Example: Ek beam pe jab load lagta hai, toh beam ke cross-section pe shear force hota hai, jaise kisi scissor se cut karne wala effect.

Simple Difference:

  • Direction: Axial load axis ke parallel hota hai, shear load axis ke perpendicular hota hai.
  • Effect: Axial load structure ko dabaata ya kheenchta hai, shear load structure ke parts ko ek dusre ke against slide ya cut karta hai.
  • Visualize: Axial load ek rod ko dabane ya kheenchne jaisa hai, shear load ek paper ko katarne jaisa hai.

Example:

  • Ek column mein building ka weight axial load (compression) deta hai.
  • Wahi column agar side se wind force se hile, toh uspe shear load bhi lagta hai.
