STRESS AND STRAIN
RELATIONS
1.1 DIRECT OR NORMAL
STRESS

When a force is transmitted through a body,
the body tends to change its shape or
deform. The body is said to be strained.

Direct Stress = Applied Force (F)
Cross Sectional Area (A)

Units:
Usually N/m2 (Pa), N/mm2,
GN/m2 or N/cm2
Note: 1 N/mm2 = 1 MN/m2 = 1 MPa

1.2 Direct or Normal Strain


When loads are applied to a body,
some deformation will occur resulting to
a change in dimension.
Consider a bar, subjected to axial
tensile loading force, F. If the bar
extension is dl and its original length
(before loading) is L, then tensile strain
is:
Direct or Normal Strain Contd.

Direct Strain ( ) = Change in Length

i.e.  = dl/L

Direct or Normal Strain Contd.



As strain is a ratio of lengths, it is
dimensionless.
Similarly, for compression by amount,
dl: Compressive strain = - dl/L
Note: Strain is positive for an increase
in dimension and negative for a
reduction in dimension.
1.3 Shear Stress and Shear Strain



Shear stresses are produced by
equal and opposite parallel forces
not in line.
The forces tend to make one part
of the material slide over the other
part.
Shear stress is tangential to the
area over which it acts.


The element is therefore subjected to a
couple and for equilibrium, a balancing
couple must be brought into action.
This will only arise from the shear stress on
faces QR and PS.
Let the shear stresses on these faces be


Let t be the thickness of the material at
right angles to the paper and lengths of
sides of element be a and b as shown.
For equilibrium, clockwise couple =
anticlockwise couple
i.e. Force on PQ (or RS) x a = Force
on QR (or PS) x b
1 x b t x a  2

i. e.  1

Complimentary Shear Stress



Thus: Whenever a shear stress occurs on
a plane within a material, it is automatically
accompanied by an equal shear stress on
the perpendicular plane.
The direction of the complementary shear
stress is such that their couple opposes that
of the original shear stresses.
1.4 Volumetric Strain




Hydrostatic stress refers to tensile or
compressive stress in all dimensions
within or external to a body.
Hydrostatic stress results in change in
volume of the material.
Consider a cube with sides x, y, z. Let
dx, dy, and dz represent increase in
length in all directions.
i.e. new volume = (x + dx) (y + dy) (z +
dz)

1.5 Elasticity and Hooke’s Law




All solid materials deform when they are
stressed, and as stress is increased,
deformation also increases.
If a material returns to its original size and
shape on removal of load causing
deformation, it is said to be elastic.
If the stress is steadily increased, a point is
reached when, after the removal of load, not
all the induced strain is removed.
This is called the elastic limit.
Hooke’s Law




States that providing
the limit of
proportionality of a material is not exceeded,
the stress is directly proportional to the strain
produced.
If a graph of stress and strain is plotted as
load is gradually applied, the first portion of
the graph will be a straight line.
The slope of this line is the constant of
proportionality called modulus of Elasticity, E
or Young’s Modulus.
It is a measure of the stiffness of a material.

Factor of Safety



The load which any member of a machine
carries is called working load, and stress
produced by this load is the working stress.
Obviously, the working stress must be less
than the yield stress, tensile strength or the
ultimate stress.
This working stress is also called the
permissible stress or the allowable stress or
the design stress.
Factor of Safety Contd.

Some reasons for factor of safety
include the inexactness or inaccuracies
in the estimation of stresses and the
non-uniformity of some materials.
Factor of safety =
Ultimate or yield stress
Design or working stress
Note:
Ultimate stress is used for materials e.g.
concrete which do not have a well-defined yield point,
or brittle materials which behave in a linear manner
up to failure. Yield stress is used for other materials
e.g. steel with well defined yield stress.
1.7 Practical Class Details

Each Student will have two practical
classes: one on :



Stress/strain characteristics and
Hardness and impact tests.
(i) The stress/strain characteristics
practical will involve the measurement
of the characteristics for four metals,
copper, aluminium, steel and brass
using a tensometer.
Practical Class Details Contd.




The test will be done up to fracture of the
metals.
This test will also involve the accurate
measurement of the modulus of elasticity for
one metal.
There is the incorporation of an
extensometer for accurate measurement of
very small extensions to produce an
accurate stress-strain graphs.
The test will be done up to elastic limit.
Practical Class Details Contd.

(ii)
The hardness test will be
done using the same four metals
and the Rockwell Hardness test.

The impact test with the four
metals will be carried out using the
Izod test.
1.8 MATERIALS TESTING




1.8.1. Tensile Test: This is the most
common test carried out on a material.
It is performed on a machine capable of
applying a true axial load to the test
specimen. The machine must have:
(i)
A means of measuring the applied
load and
(ii) An extensometer is attached to the test
specimen to determine its extension.
Tensile Test Contd.



Notes: 1. For iron or steel, the limit of
proportionality and the elastic limit are
virtually same but for other materials like
non-ferrous materials, they are different.
2. Up to maximum or ultimate stress, there
is no visible reduction in diameter of
specimen but after this stress, a local
reduction in diameter called necking occurs
and this is more well defined as the load falls
off up to fracture point.
Original area of specimen is used for
analysis.

The percentage of elongation and percentage reduction in area give an indication of th e

Proof Stress



High carbon steels, cast iron and most of the
non-ferrous alloys do not exhibit a well
defined yield as is the case with mild steel.
For these materials, a limiting stress called
proof stress is specified, corresponding to a
non-proportional extension.
The non-proportional extension is a specified
percentage of the original length e.g. 0.05,
0.10, 0.20 or 0.50%.
Determination of Proof Stress
Stress

The proof stress is obtained by drawing AP parallel to the initial
slope of the stress/strain graph, the distance, OA being the strain
corresponding to the required non-proportional extension e.g. for
0.05% proof stress, the strain is 0.0005.

Hardness Test
The hardness of a material is determined by
its ability to withstand indentation. There are
four major hardness tests.
(i) Rockwell Hardness Test: This uses an
indentor with a 120o conical diamond with a
rounded apex for hard materials, or steel ball
for softer materials.
A minor load, F is applied to cause a small
indentation as indicated in Fig. (a) below.
The major load, Fm is then applied and
removed after a specified time to leave load
F still acting. The two stages are shown as
(b) and (c).
Rockwell Hardness Test
Hardness Test Contd.



Thus the permanent increase in the
depth of penetration caused by the
major load is d mm. The Rockwell
hardness number, HR is:
HR = K - 500 d
Where: K is a constant with value of
100 for the diamond indentor and 130
for the steel indentor.
1.8.3




Impact Testing
The toughness of a material is defined
as its ability to withstand a shock
loading without fracture. Two principal
impact tests are the:
Izod and the
Charpy tests.
A test specimen is rigidly supported
and is impacted by a striker attached to
a pendulum.
Impact Test Concluded

The difference in height from which a
pendulum is released and the height to
which it rises after impact gives a
measure of the energy absorbed by the
specimen and this is recorded on a dial
mounted on a tester.

1.9 Lateral Strain and Poisson’s Ratio

stress, a body will extend in the
direction of the stress and contract in
the transverse or lateral direction
(see Fig. below).

For most metals, the range of

.
1.10 Thermal Strain
Most structural materials expand when heated,
in accordance to the law:
  T
where  is linear strain and
 is the coefficient of linear expansion;
T is the rise in temperature.
That is for a rod of Length, L;
if its temperature increased by t, the extension,
dl =

L T.
Thermal Strain Contd.
As in the case of lateral strains, thermal strains
do not induce stresses unless they are constrained.
The total strain in a body experiencing thermal stress
may be divided into two components:
Strain due to stress,   and
That due to temperature,  T .
Thus:


=  + T

1.11. Principle of Superposition





It states that the effects of several actions
taking place simultaneously can be
reproduced exactly by adding the effect of
each action separately.
The principle is general and has wide
applications and holds true if:
(i) The structure is elastic
(ii) The stress-strain relationship is linear
(iii) The deformations are small.


In the case of shear
strain, there is no lateral strain,
hence the shear stress/shear

for both uniaxial and complex
strain systems.
Note:
Plain Stress and Plain Strain




A plain stress condition is said to exist when
stress in the z direction is zero.
The above equations may be applied for
but strain in the z direction is not zero.
Also plain strain condition exists when the
strain in z direction is zero.
Using strain in Z direction as zero in this
case does not mean that stress in the z
direction is zero.

due to change in temperature. The general form of the stress/strain

1.14.1 Stresses Due to Applied Loads
in Compound Bars
If a compound bar is loaded in compression by a force, F,
Since the rod and tube are of the same length and must remain
together, the two materials must have the same strain i.e.

Also: The total load, F must be shared by the two materials, i.e. F = F 1 + F2
Where: F1 and F2 are the loads in the individual elements.

Temperature stresses in compound
bar Contd.
Consider a compound bar, see (a) above of length, L consisting of 2
different materials (1) and (2) having coefficients of expansion
1
and  2 respectively with  1 > 2 . If the bar is subjected to a
1
uniform temperature rise, T and the right hand fixing released,
 1 the bar (1) will expand more than (2) as shown in diagram (b).
However, because of the end fixing, free expansion cannot occur.
Diagram (c) shows that the end fixing must supply a force which
decreases the length of bar (1) and increases the length of bar (2)
until equilibrium is achieved at a common length.
As no external forces are involved, a self equilibrating
(balancing force system is created).
Temperature Stresses Contd.
Free expansions in bars (1) and (2) are L 1T
and
L 2 T respectively.
Due to end fixing force, F: the decrease in length of bar (1) is

1.15 Elastic Strain Energy



If a material is strained by a gradually
applied load, then work is done on the
material by the applied load.
The work is stored in the material in the form
of strain energy.
If the strain is within the elastic range of the
material, this energy is not retained by the
material upon the removal of load.
Elastic Strain Energy Contd.
Figure below shows the load-extension graph of a uniform bar.
The extension dl is associated with a gradually applied load, P
which is within the elastic range. The shaded area represents
the work done in increasing the load from zero to its value
