    Study Notes

    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
