Study Notes
Stress
- Stress is defined as force per unit area
- It arises from externally applied forces, uneven heating, or permanent deformation
- It describes and predicts elastic, plastic, and fluid behavior
- It's the internal resistance a material offers to an applied force or load
- It's crucial for analyzing structural behavior and ensuring safety and stability
- Measured in units like Pascals (Pa) or Newtons per square meter (N/m²)
- Calculated using the formula: σ = F / A (where σ is stress, F is force, and A is area)
Types of Stress
- Stress can be classified into three types, based on the applied force's nature:
- Tensile Stress: Caused by forces that stretch or pull the material
- Defined mathematically as force per unit cross-sectional area
- Causes elongation in the direction of the applied force
- Characteristics:
- Acts along longitudinal axis
- Increases material length, reduces cross-sectional area
- Up to elastic limit, may break if stress exceeds ultimate tensile strength (UTS)
- Examples: steel cables in bridges, stretching rubber bands, tension in wires
- Compressive Stress: Caused by forces that compress or squeeze the material
- Opposite of tensile stress
- Causes shortening or compaction of the material, increasing cross-sectional area
- Defined by the force acting per unit cross-sectional area (σ = F / A)
- Characteristics:
- Acts inward, perpendicular to cross-sectional area
- Shortens or compacts the material
- Examples: columns in buildings, concrete foundations, books on a shelf
- Shear Stress: Caused by forces acting parallel to the material's surface
- Causes adjacent material layers to slide relative to each other
- Defined by the shear force applied divided by the cross-sectional area (Ï„ = V / A, where Ï„ is shear stress, V is shear force, and A is area)
- Characteristics:
- Acts parallel to the material's surface
- Distorts material shape without changing volume
- Failure occurs along planes where material cannot resist sliding forces
- Examples: rivets and bolts, scissors cutting, beams facing angled forces
- Tensile Stress: Caused by forces that stretch or pull the material
Torsion
- Torque twists a structure
- Unlike axial loads (which produce uniform stress), torque causes a stress distribution over the cross-section
- Focuses on structures with circular cross-sections (e.g., rods, shafts)
- Applied torque causes a twist along the rod's long axis, maintaining circular cross-section
- Visual representation: Imagine a clock face on the rod, a torque twists the hour hand
- Angle of twist (denoted by Greek letter phi) determines shear strain at any point along the cross-section
- Torsion is a common loading condition in various structures: bridge girders, spiral staircases, and transmission shafts
- Crucial for ensuring structural stability and safety against combined loading (e.g., bending, shear, torsion)
Torsion Equations
- τmax = T × r/J: Calculates the maximum shear stress at the outer surface of a shaft subjected to torsion
- T: Applied torque
- r: Distance from the shaft's center to the point of interest (outer radius for maximum stress)
- J: Polar moment of inertia of the cross-section
- θ = T×L/JxG: Calculates the angular deformation (angle of twist) in a shaft due to torque
- T: Applied torque
- L: Length of the shaft
- J: Polar moment of inertia
- G: Shear modulus (rigidity modulus) of the material
