Module 1.0-SIMPLE STRESS - Axial-Normal

This document provides an overview of axial/normal stress, which is the first module of a course on mechanics of deformable bodies. The learning objectives are to review principles of statics used to determine internal loading in a body, understand concepts of normal and shear stress, and analyze members under axial loads or direct shear. It defines stress as force per unit area and explains normal/axial stress as either tensile or compressive depending on if the force tends to lengthen or shorten the member. Sample problems demonstrate calculating stress from loads and dimensions. The document concludes with an example problem determining average normal stress in a specific member of a Pratt bridge truss.

Module – 1
Axial / Normal Stress

Dr. Joseph Berlin P. Juanzon CE, MSCM


Learning Objectives

- Review some of the important principles of


statics and show how they are used to
determine the internal resultant loading I a
body;
- Understand the concepts of normal and
shear stress;
- Analysis and design of members subjected
to an axial load or direct shear.
STRENGTH OF MATERIALS
◦ Strength of Materials (also known
as Mechanics of Deformable Bodies)
is the study of the internal effect of
external forces applied to structural
member. It includes stress, strain,
deformation deflection, torsion, flexure,
shear diagram, and moment diagram
Four different types of resultant
loadings:

◦ Normal force (N). This force acts


perpendicular to the area. It is developed
whenever the external loads tend to push or
pull on the two segments of the body
◦ Shear force (V). The shear force lies in the
plane of the area and it develop when the
external loads tend to cause the two segments
of the body ti slide over one another.
Four different types of resultant
loadings:

◦ Torsional moment or Torque (T). This effect


is developed when the external loads tend to
twist one segment of the body with respect to
the other about an axis perpendicular to the
area.
◦ Bending moment (M). The bending moment
is caused by the external loads that tend to
bend the body about an axis lying within the
plane of the area.
Illustration:
◦ Determine the resultant internal loadings on
the cross section at C of the cantilever beam
shown.

SIMPLE STRESS
 Stress is defined as the strength of a
material per unit area of unit strength. It
is the force on a member divided by area,
which carries the force, formerly express
in psi, now in N/mm2 or MPa.

◦ where P is the applied normal load in Newton


and A is the area in mm2. The maximum stress
in tension or compression occurs over a section
normal to the load.
NORMAL / AXIAL STRESS
Normal stress is either tensile stress or
compressive stress. Members subject to
pure tension (or tensile force) is under
tensile stress, while compression members
(members subject to compressive force)
are under compressive stress.

Compressive force will tend to


shorten the member. Tension force
on the other hand will tend to
lengthen the member.
