Stress & Strain: Axial Loading
• Suitability of a structure or machine may depend on the deformations in
the structure as well as the stresses induced under loading. Statics
analyses alone are not sufficient.
• Considering structures as deformable allows determination of member
forces and reactions which are statically indeterminate.
• Determination of the stress distribution within a member also requires
consideration of deformations in the member.
• Chapter 2 is concerned with deformation of a structural member under
axial loading. Later chapters will deal with torsional and pure bending
loads.

Elastic vs. Plastic Behavior
• If the strain disappears when the
stress is removed, the material is
said to behave elastically.
• The largest stress for which this
occurs is called the elastic limit.

material load beyond yield and unloaded.
• When the strain does not return
to zero after the stress is
removed, plastic deformation
of the material has taken place.

Static Indeterminate Problems
• Structures for which internal forces and reactions
cannot be determined from statics alone are said
to be statically indeterminate.
• A structure will be statically indeterminate
whenever it is held by more supports than are
required to maintain its equilibrium.
• Redundant reactions are replaced with
unknown loads which along with the other
loads must produce compatible deformations.
• Deformations due to actual loads and redundant
reactions are determined separately and then
added.

bar and loading shown, assuming a close fit at
both supports before the loads are applied.

• Solve for the displacement at B due to the
redundant reaction at RB.
• Require that the displacements due to the loads
and due to the redundant reaction be
compatible, i.e., require that their sum be zero.

and the reaction found at RB.

Multiaxial Loading: Generalized Hooke’s 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) Each effect is linearly related to the load that
produces it.
2) The deformation resulting form any given
load is small and does not affect the conditions
of application of the other loads.

Shearing Strain
• A cubic element subjected to only shearing stress will
deform into a rhomboid. The corresponding
shearing strain is quantified in terms of the change in
angle between the sides,
 xy  f  xy 
Fig. 2.36 Unit cubic element
subjected to shearing stress.
• A plot of shearing stress vs. shearing strain is similar
to the previous plots of normal stress vs. normal
strain except that the strength values are
approximately half. For values of shearing strain
that do not exceed the proportional limit,
 xy  G  xy  yz  G  yz  zx  G  zx
where G is the modulus of rigidity or shear modulus.

Relation Between E, n, and G
• An axially loaded slender bar will
elongate in the x direction and contract in
both of the transverse y and z directions.
• An initially cubic element oriented as in
Figure 2.42(a) will deform into a
rectangular parallelepiped. The axial load
produces a normal strain.
• If the cubic element is oriented as in
Figure 2.42(b), it will deform into a
rhombus. Axial load also results in a
shearing strain.
• Components of normal and shearing strain
are related,

Saint-Venant’s 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.

applied by rigid plates to
rubber model.

axial load applied to

Fig. 2.49 Stress distributions in a
plate under concentrated axial loads.
• Stress and strain distributions
become uniform at a relatively short
distance from the load application
points.
• Saint-Venant’s Principle:
Stress distribution may be assumed
independent of the mode of load
application except in the immediate
vicinity of load application points.

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
Fig. 2.53 Stress-strain diagram for an
idealized elastoplastic material.
• 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

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. It should not be
assumed that this will always be the case.
• 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

A cylindrical rod is placed inside a tube
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 5.7
kips and decreased back to zero.
a) draw a load-deflection diagram
for the rod-tube assembly
b) determine the maximum
elongation
