Stress and Strain
- Stress is the resisting force per unit area within a component when subjected to an external force.
- It's calculated as force (P) divided by area (A). Units are Newtons per square meter (Pascals).
- Strain is the measure of deformation in a component due to stress.
Types of Stresses
- Simple/Direct Stresses
- Tension: Force pulling the component apart.
- Compression: Force pushing the component together.
- Shear: Forces acting parallel to the surface, causing it to slide.
- Indirect Stresses
- Bending: Load perpendicular to the component axis.
- Torsion: Twisting load.
- Combined Stresses: Any combination of simple or indirect stresses.
Types of Strains
- Tensile Strain: Elongation per unit length. Calculated as the change in length (ΔL) divided by the original length (L₀).
- Compressive Strain: Reduction in length per unit length, calculated as the negative change in length (ΔL) divided by the original length (L₀).
- Shear Strain: The angle (in radians) through which a component distorts due to shear stress. Calculated as the change in the perpendicular distance divided by the initial distance.
- Volumetric Strain: The ratio of change in volume (ΔV) to the original volume (V).
Engineering Stress vs. True Stress
- Engineering Stress: Ratio of force to original cross-sectional area.
- True Stress: Ratio of force to instantaneous cross-sectional area.
Engineering Strain vs. True Strain
- Engineering Strain: Ratio of change in length to original length.
- True Strain: The natural logarithm of the ratio of instantaneous length to original length.
Mechanical Testing of Materials
- Uni-axial Tensile Test: Measures material response to tensile loading.
- Compression Test: Measures material response to compressive loading.
- Useful for assessing material behavior under compressive forces.
- Impact Test: Measures a material's resistance to impact loading.
- Fatigue Test: Measures a material’s ability to resist repeated loading.
- Hardness Test: Measures a material's resistance to permanent indentation.
- Torsion Test: Measures material resistance to twisting forces.
- Bending Test: Measures the material’s stiffness, strength, and deformation behavior under bending loading.
Stress-Strain Curves
- Different material types have distinct curves.
- Curves show the relationship between stress and strain during a test.
- Data points like yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and fracture point can be derived from the curve.
- Ductile materials exhibit large plastic deformation before failure.
- Brittle materials have little to no plastic deformation before failure.
Silent Points of Stress-Strain Curve (for Mild Steel)
- Limit of Proportionality: Stress is proportional to strain.
- Elastic Limit: Up to this point, material returns to original shape when load is removed.
- Upper Yield Point: Stress starts decreasing and elongation increases.
- Lower Yield Point: Stress remains constant, but strain continues to increase.
- Ultimate Stress: Maximum stress a material can withstand.
- Breaking/Fracture Point: Stress at which material finally fails.
Other Important Material Properties
- Modulus of Elasticity (or Young's Modulus): Slope of the linear elastic region on the stress-strain curve.
- Yield Strength: Stress at which the material begins permanent deformation.
- Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS): Maximum stress a material can bear before fracturing.
- Ductility: Material's ability to undergo plastic deformation before fracture.
- Toughness: Material's ability to absorb energy before fracturing.
- Resilience: Material's ability to absorb energy within the elastic region.
Compression Testing
- Ductile materials show a similar stress-strain curve for compression to tension but with some differences
- Ultimate stress usually is greater for compression than tension,
Other Materials
- Rubber is an elastic material, returning to its original state after deformation. Its stress-strain curve is non-linear.
- Other materials have specific characteristics like linear or linear-plastic behavior
