Q1
A lap joint is always in _________ shear.
A.
Single
B.
Double
C.
Both A and B
AnswerD.
None of these
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
A lap joint can experience both single and double shear.In a single shear lap joint, the forces act in a single plane, and the joint is subjected to shear along one plane only.
In a double shear lap joint, the forces are distributed over two planes, effectively reducing the shear stress in each plane.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option C: Both A and B.
