Whatâs the Difference Between Bearing, Shear, and Tear-Out Stress? Shear Stress. For bolted joints without a preload shear, stress is calculated like bearing stress: force over area. Like bearing stress, it is also an average stress and the maximum shear will be higher. If a bolted joint has no separation or clearance, a direct shear situation—shear without bending­—can occur. τ = V/Ashear.
