# Orthogonal shear stress over minor axis

**(./images/BSC-orthogonalShearOverMinorAxis.png)**The orthogonal shear stress is zero below the contact and has its maximum in a certain distance from the center of contact. This can be seen in this diagram of orthogonal shear stress over position on minor axis.
