The shear strength failure calculation is a comparison of the shear strength in the core to the out-of-plane shear loads induced by either cantilevered loads or pressure loads – the latter is common in aerospace applications. In the case of coupling HyperSizer with FEA, the shear loads in the panels, Qx and Qy are extracted directly from the element forces of the FEA results. The shear strength allowable is the shear strength in the core multiplied by a shear strength correction factor, which is derived from vendor data.
See the HME document for more information.
