Study Notes

Module 4.1: Concepts of Stress and Strain

Learning Outcomes: Identify different types of loading, define stress and strain, differentiate engineering and true stress-strain, and review mechanical properties.

Types of Loading/Force

Tensile Load: A force pulling apart or stretching a material.
Compressive Load: A force causing a material to deform and occupy a smaller volume.
Shear Load: A force tending to cause deformation by slippage along planes parallel to it.

Stress

Definition: The internal distribution of forces within a body that balances and reacts to applied loads.
Formula: Stress (σ) = Force (F) / Area (A)
Units: Pascals (Pa) or N/m².
Types:
- Tensile Stress: Stress in a material experiencing a tensile load.
- Compressive Stress: Stress in a material experiencing a compressive load.
- Shear Stress: Stress in a material experiencing a shear load.

Strain

Definition: The response of a system to an applied stress.
Unitless: Often expressed as unsimplified values like in/in.
Formula: Strain (ε) = Elongation / Original Length = ΔL / L₀

Stress-Strain Curve

Definition: A diagram representing the relationship between stress and strain in a material.
Types:
- Engineering stress-strain diagram
- True stress-strain diagram
Mechanical properties obtained: Properties such as Young's Modulus are obtained from the curve.
Elastic region: Temporary deformation.
Plastic region: Permanent deformation.

Engineering Stress vs. True Stress

Engineering Stress: Instantaneous force divided by the original cross-sectional area.
True Stress: Instantaneous force divided by the instantaneous area. -Formula: σₜ = Fₜ/Aᵢ

Engineering Strain vs. True Strain

Engineering Strain: Change in length divided by the original length.
True Strain: Natural logarithm of the instantaneous gauge length of a specimen.
- Formula: εₜ = ln(l₁/l₀)

Mathematical Relationships of Engineering and True σ – ε

Relationship: σₜ = σ(1 + ε) and εₜ = ln(1 + ε).
Validity: These relationships are only valid up to the onset of necking.

Mechanical Properties

Those obtained from engineering σ-ε curve: This is typically used in place of true values.

Important Values (obtained from σ-ε curve)

Proportional Limit: The point of departure from the linearity of the stress-strain curve.
Yielding: The phenomenon where the transition from the elastic to plastic deformation occurs. This is typically measured by 0.2% proof stress on the curve.
Yield Strength (σᵧ): Measure of the material's resistance to permanent deformation
Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS/TS): The stress at the maximum point of the engineering stress-strain curve
Fracture Stress (σf): The stress at the point of breaking or fracture.
Ductility: Degree of plastic deformation sustained at fracture, measured as percent elongation or area reduction.
Modulus of Resilience (Uᵣ): Strain energy per unit volume required to stress a material from an unloaded state up to the point of yielding (σᵧ).
Toughness: Ability of a Material to absorb energy up to fracture.
Poisson's Ratio (v): Ratio of the lateral and axial strains.

Moduli of Elasticity and Rigidity

Modulus of Elasticity (E): Governed by Hooke's Law.
Modulus of Rigidity (G): Also governed by Hooke's Law.
