Poissons Ratio
For a slender bar subjected to axial
loading:

The elongation in the x-direction is

accompanied by a contraction in the
other directions. Assuming that the
material is isotropic (no directional
dependence),

Generalized Hookes Law

For an element subjected to multi-axial
loading, the normal strain components
resulting from the stress components
may be determined from the principle of
superposition. This requires:
1) strain is linearly related to stress
2) deformations are small

With these restrictions:

Shearing Strain
A cubic element subjected to a
shear stress will deform into a
rhomboid. The corresponding
shear strain is quantified in
terms of the change in angle
between the sides,

xy f xy

Shearing Strain (con.)

A plot of shear stress vs. shear
strain is similar to the previous
plots of normal stress vs. normal
strain except that the strength
values are approximately half.
For small strains,

xy G xy yz G yz zx G zx

where G is the modulus of rigidity

or shear modulus.

Example 2.10

SOLUTION:
Determine the average angular
deformation or shearing strain of
the block.

A rectangular block of material with

modulus of rigidity G = 630 MPa is
bonded to two rigid horizontal plates.
The lower plate is fixed, while the
upper plate is subjected to a horizontal
force P. Knowing that the upper plate
moves through 1.0 mm. under the
action of the force, determine a) the
average shearing strain in the material,
and b) the force P exerted on the plate.

Apply Hookes law for shearing stress

and strain to find the corresponding
shearing stress.

Use the definition of shearing stress to

find the force P.

Relation Among E, v, and G

An axially loaded slender bar will
elongate in the axial direction and
contract in the transverse directions.
An initially cubic element oriented as in
top figure will deform into a rectangular
parallelepiped. The axial load produces a
normal strain.

If the cubic element is oriented as in the

bottom figure, it will deform into a
rhombus. Axial load also results in a shear
strain.
Components of normal and shear strain are
related,

Sample Problem 2.5

A circle of diameter d = 225 mm is scribed on
an unstressed aluminum plate of thickness t =
18 mm. Forces acting in the plane of the plate
later cause normal stresses x = 84 MPa and z
= 140 MPa.
For E = 70 GPa and v = 1/3, determine the
change in:
a) the length of diameter AB,
b) the length of diameter CD,
c) the thickness of the plate, and
d) the volume of the plate.

Composite Materials

Fiber-reinforced composite materials are formed from lamina

of fibers of graphite, glass, or polymers embedded in a resin
matrix.

Normal stresses and strains are related by Hookes Law but

with directionally dependent moduli of elasticity,

Saint-Venants Principle
Loads transmitted through rigid
plates result in uniform distribution
of stress and strain.
Concentrated loads result in large
stresses in the vicinity of the load
application point.

Stress and strain distributions

become uniform at a relatively short
distance from the load application
points.

16

Saint-Venants Principle (con.)

Saint-Venants Principle:
Stress distribution may be assumed independent of the
mode of load application except in the immediate vicinity
of load application points.

Discontinuities of cross
section may result in high
localized or concentrated
stresses.

Elastoplastic Materials
Previous analyses based on assumption of
linear stress-strain relationship, i.e.,
stresses below the yield stress
Assumption is good for brittle material
which rupture without yielding
If the yield stress of ductile materials is
exceeded, then plastic deformations occur
Analysis of plastic deformations is
simplified by assuming an idealized
elastoplastic material
Deformations of an elastoplastic material
are divided into elastic and plastic ranges
Permanent deformations result from
loading beyond the yield stress

24

Residual Stresses
When a single structural element is loaded uniformly beyond
its yield stress and then unloaded, it is permanently deformed
but all stresses disappear. This is not the general result.
Residual stresses will remain in a structure after loading and
unloading if
- only part of the structure undergoes plastic deformation
- different parts of the structure undergo different plastic
deformations
Residual stresses also result from the uneven heating or
cooling of structures or structural elements

of the same length. The ends of the rod
and tube are attached to a rigid support
on one side and a rigid plate on the
other. The load on the rod-tube
assembly is increased from zero to 25
kN and decreased back to zero.

for the rod-tube assembly
b) determine the maximum
elongation
c) determine the permanent set
