Equilibrium
If we assume that the system to be studied is motionless or, at most, has constant velocity, then the system has zero acceleration. Under this condition the system is said to be in equilibrium
The phrase static equilibrium is also used to imply that the system is at rest. For equilibrium, the forces and moments acting on the system balance such that

Thus, free-body diagramming is essentially a means of breaking a complicated problem into manageable segments, analyzing these simple problems, and then, usually, putting the information together again

If the beam is cut at some section located at x = x1 and the left-hand portion is removed as a free body, an internal shear force V and bending moment M must act on the cut surface to ensure equilibrium Shear force and bending moment are related by the equation
dM V= dx

Stress
When an internal surface is isolated as in the last F.B.D, the net force and moment acting on the surface manifest themselves as force distributions across the entire area
The force distribution acting at a point on the surface is unique and will have components in the normal and tangential directions called normal stress and tangential shear stress, respectively
If the direction of is outward from the surface it is considered to be a tensile stress and is a positive normal stress. If is into the surface it is a compressive stress and commonly considered to be a negative quantity
Units: U.S Customary units are pounds per square inch (psi) SI units, stress is in newtons per square meter (N/m2): 1N/m2 = 1 Pa.

In general, each surface will have a normal and shear stress The shear stress may have components along two axes

The state of stress at a point described by three mutually perpendicular surfaces is shown in Fig a As the dimensions of the cube in Fig. 4a approach zero, the stresses on the hidden faces become equal and opposite to those on the opposing visible faces

This reduces the number of stress components for most 3-D states of stress from nine to six quantities

A very common state of stress occurs when the stresses on one surface are zero. When this occurs the state of stress is called plane stress
Figure b shows a state of plane stress, arbitrarily assuming that the normal for the stress-free surface is the z direction such that z = zx = zy = 0
Here it is assumed that the cross-shears are equal such that yx = xy , and yz = zy = xz = zx = 0

Plane Stress
Suppose the dx dy dz element of Fig 4b is cut by an oblique plane with a normal n at an arbitrary angle counterclockwise from the x axis as shown in Fig. 5
We are concerned with the stresses and that act upon this oblique plane
By summing the forces caused by all the stress components to zero, the stresses and are found to be s x +s y s x - s y s= + cos 2f + t xy sin 2f 2 2
t= sx - s y 2 sin 2f + t xy cos 2f

Plane Stress
Differentiating the first Eq. with respect to and setting the result equal to zero gives
This Equation defines two particular values for the angle 2p, one of which defines the maximum normal stress 1 and the other, the minimum normal stress 2. These two stresses are called the principal stresses, and their corresponding directions, the principal directions
It is important to note that the above Eq. can be written in the form

Plane Stress
In a similar manner, we differentiate Eq. of shear stress, set the result equal to zero, and obtain
It defines the two values of 2s at which the shear stress reaches an extreme value

When an element has this particular orientation, the normals to the faces are mutually orthogonal and correspond to the principal directions, and the normal stresses associated with these faces are the principal stresses
Since there are three faces, there are three principal directions and three principal stresses 1, 2, and 3. For plane stress, the stress-free surface contains the third principal stress which is zero
In our studies of plane stress we were able to specify any stress state x , y and xy and find the principal stresses and principal directions

In plotting Mohrs circles for three-dimensional stress, the principal normal stresses are ordered so that 1 2 3. Then the result appears as in Fig. 8
The stress coordinates , for any arbitrarily located plane will always lie on the boundaries or within the shaded area

Elastic Strain
Normal strain is defined for the tensile specimen and is given by = /l
Hookes law for the tensile specimen is given by = E where the constant E is called Youngs modulus or the modulus of elasticity
When a material is placed in tension, there exists not only an axial strain, but also negative strain (contraction) perpendicular to the axial strain. Assuming a linear, homogeneous, isotropic material, this lateral strain is proportional to the axial strain

Elastic Strain
If the axial stress is in the x direction, then
For a stress element undergoing x , y , and z simultaneously, the normal strains are given by
Shear strain is the change in a right angle of a stress element when subjected to pure shear stress, and Hookes law for shear is given by 2727
