is not often equally distributed across a part so the shear strength would need to be higher to account for the estimate.

Comparison

As a very rough guide relating tensile, yield, and shear strengths:

USS: Ultimate Shear Strength, UTS: Ultimate Tensile Strength, SYS: Shear Yield Stress, TYS: Tensile Yield Stress

There are no published standard values for shear strength like with tensile and yield strength. Instead, it is common for it to be estimated as 60% of the ultimate tensile strength. Shear
