By setting up the equilibrium conditions, the inner forces of a member subjected to an external load situation can be determined. So far neither the material nor the type of cross section applied for the member are being taken into account. But both material and type of cross section obviously have an impact on the behaviour of the member subjected to load. To design the member therefore a closer look on how the internal forces act along its cross section needs to be taken. 1.1 Normal Stress Axial Loading Within this part of the chapter the internal forces are limited to only axial forces (normal forces) acting along the centroidal axis of a member.

fig 1.11: axially loaded rod

A suspended rod is subjected to an axial load. The free body diagram in external equilibrium is shown in fig. 1.11a. The rod is cut perpendicular to its axis at any arbitrary distance from its ends and the equations of equilibrium are applied on the part. Thus the internal force found acting normal to the cut surface (area A) is of equal amount but opposite direction of the applied external force (fig. 1.11b). Consider the normal force to equally act on any particle A of the cut surface A (fig. 1.11c). F F = A A

conclusion: the normal stress acting along a section of a member only depends on the external load applied (e.g. a normal force F) and the geometry of its cross section A (true for statically determinant systems).

1.2 Average Shearing Stress Transverse Loading So far the discussion focussed on normal stress, oriented perpendicular to the cutting plane or in direction of the main axis of the member. Stress can also act in the cutting plane thus perpendicular to the main axis of the member. This occurs if the member is subjected to a situation of transverse loads (fig. 1.21).
F

F fig 1.21: transverse load situation

A situation like this is very common in a bolt or rivet connection (fig 1.22). Here the forces acting in the direction of the steel plates are transmitted by the bolt. In fig 1.23 the bolt is cut along the upper two connecting surfaces of the steel plates. To meet the equilibrium conditions, the force being transported along the cutting plane through the bolt is equal to the force being applied on the upper steel plate (F).

Dividing the force by the cut area of the bolt, the stress in the plane of cut is determined (fig. 1.24). Assuming the stress is uniformly distributed, the stress is defined as the average shearing stress, denoted by the Greek letter :

1.3 Stress Analysis and Concept of Design Every material has its individual properties. It can be ductile, flexible or brittle. It deforms under the influence of a temperature change. It may plastically deform at a certain stress (load) and break at another. Its properties according to perpendicular directions may be equal (isotropic) or different (orthotropic). To ensure a safe design, these specific material properties have to be taken into account. The essential information is collected by conducting different tests in a material testing laboratory. At the failure of the material its ultimate stress is reached. The point of plastic deformation of the material is indicated as the yield point, corresponding to the yield stress. Taking this into account, an allowable stress can be defined for each individual material to be used within the design analysis. These stresses such as further indications concerning the maximum allowable deformation (serviceability of a structure) can be found in the respective national codes. A secure design requires a certain safety clearance towards the failure of the employed material. This is ensured by applying a safety factor (in national codes usually denoted by the Greek letter ). In the design analysis the existing stress due to the existing load increased by the factor of safety (the design stress) has to be proofed less or equal to the allowable stress. Since the applied material might be orthotropic (different properties in different directions, e.g. timber) different allowable stresses are defined for normal and shearing stresses depending on their orientation (parallel or perpendicular, or , see example 1.4). ratio of safety: design analysis:

1.4 Transformation of Stress Oblique Plane under Axial Loading Normal and shearing stresses, thus stress acting perpendicular and parallel to the axis of symmetry of the member have been analysed in the previous parts of this chapter. The plane of cut being used to isolate a part of the member was perpendicularly oriented in all the situations regarded so far. How about the situation of stress on an oblique plane of cut? Fig. 1.41 shows a member subjected to an axial load. A part of the member is isolated by a plane of cut, inclined by the angle towards the axis of the member. Setting up the free body diagram and the conditions of equilibrium the stress components acting normal to or within the plane of cut are determined.

2 Strain
Any object being subjected to load is deformed, changing its initial shape. This is true for any load and any material. It is easily visualised on objects consisting of soft and flexible materials like rubber or foam but also applies for hard materials like steel or rock. Within a certain load limit the object will return to its initial shape again after the load is released. This is called the elastic behaviour of a material. Exceeding the load above a certain limit, the object will not fully return to its initial shape. Some residual deformation is left, being called the plastic behaviour of a material. A further increase of load leads to the break of the object at a certain point. This is also indicated as the rupture or the failure of the material. 2.1 Strain Axial Loading A suspended rod of an elastic material and of length L is subjected to axial loading situations. The load is not exceeding the elastic limit of the material. The deformations shown in fig. 2.11 can be proven by uniaxial tests.

The rod of cross section A is subjected to an axial load F, fig. 2.11 a). Due to the load, the rod is extended by L in its axial direction. Increasing the load F by factor 2, the elongation of the rod amounts to 2L, fig. 2.11 b). Fig. 2.11 c) shows a situation of a rod of twice the cross section of system a) and b), being equal to two rods of cross section A. The rod again is subjected to the axial load F. The elongation due to the load found on this system amounts to L/2.

Like the stress for a member of a certain cross section subjected to a certain load also the elongation of the member can be expressed as a generalised term. The strain is equal to the amount of elongation L under the applied load divided by the initial length L of the member. It is denoted by the Greek letter . strain:

L L

(2.11)

The results of the stress and strain analysis are plotted in a coordinate system of abscissa strain and ordinate stress, the so called stress-strain diagram (fig. 2.12). The graph connecting the origin and the points of results is a straight line. The correlation between stress and strain is linear within the elastic limit of the material.

The slope (gradient) of the stress-strain-graph represents the correlation between stress and strain. It is a specific property of a material, indicating its elastic behaviour. It is called the Modulus of Elasticity or the Youngs Modulus of a material denoted by E. Elastic Modulus:

E=

kN cm 2

(2.12)

A high Modulus of Elasticity therefore represents a hard, rigid material like steel, a low Modulus of Elasticity a soft, deformable material like rubber.

Precondition to determine a constant Elastic Modulus is the proportional correlation between stress and strain, the linear elastic range of a material. It is represented by a straight curve on the stress-strain diagram (fig.2.12). This is known as Hookes Law (Robert Hooke, English Scientist). Transforming equation (2.12), it can also be expressed as:

F = E AE

2.2 Stress-Strain Diagram Looking at a member of a certain cross section deforming to a certain extent under a certain load reflects an individual situation. Using stress and strain ( and ), the situation is generalised. The correlation between stress and strain depends on the applied material and is represented by the Elastic Modulus, E. The established method to determine the Elastic Modulus of a material is to conduct tensile tests in a laboratory. The results of this test are plotted on the stress-strain diagram. Fig. 2.21 shows a typical stress-strain curve of mild steel, being a ductile material. A ductile material shows considerably large deformation before it fails. Up to the yield point the correlation between stress and strain is proportional, the curve is represented by a straight line. It is the linear elastic range of the material. At the yield point, the proportional limit is reached and plastic deformation occurs. Without an increase of stress, a certain amount of deflection takes places (the curve develops parallel to the abscissa). The ultimate stress (highest stress) lies beyond the yield point, correlating to relatively large deflections. Finally the material breaks at the point of rupture.

Fig. 2.22 shows a typical stress-strain curve of a brittle material. Relatively small deformation takes place up to its point of rupture. Also it does not possess a well defined yield point indicating the proportional limit. Here the offset method is used to determine an artificial yield point, thus the linear elastic range for the material.

3 Pure Bending of Beams


A beam consisting of a certain cross section and material will react in a certain way (deflection) and have a certain resistance towards applied bending loads. A beam can be subjected to bending in various ways. In many of these situations also shear forces will be present. Shear forces coexist with shear stresses causing additional deflection. To analyse the impact of bending loads on a beam element we therefore focus on a situation being free of shear forces. Lets take into account the statical correlation of the shear force function along a beam being a derivation function of the bending moment. Hence it is concluded that a part of a beam showing a linear constant moment diagram (horizontal line) is free of shearing forces. This internal load situation is called pure bending (M = constant, V = N = 0). Fig. 3.11 a) is illustrating such a situation. 3.1 Normal Stress Fig. 3.11 a) shows a beam subjected to pure bending. To investigate the stresses being caused along the plane of cut by the internal moment, a closer look is to be taken at an isolated element, shown in fig. 3.11 b). All possible stresses acting along the plane of cut are indicated in the figure since so far there is no evidence of the plane being totally free of shearing stresses.

To find the isolated element of fig. 3.11 b) in equilibrium, the stresses acting along the plane of cut on the right face have to equal the internal moment Mz on the left face. Any bending moment can be expressed by a couple of forces acting at a certain distance from another. Looking at the orientation of the stress vectors it becomes obvious that both xy and xz are irrelevant for the solution. Since both of them act in the plane of cut neither of them acts in a lever arm towards the applied moment. Therefore they are neglected in the following derivation.

3.2 Normal Strain The following geometric derivations are based on the assumption that any cross section of a beam remains plane after being subjected to bending. This is known as the theory of elasticity for slender members undergoing small deflections established by Jacob Bernoulli (1645-1705). A beam member possessing a plane of symmetry is subjected to a situation of pure bending, fig 3.21. The member will deflect uniformly since the internal moment along the member is constant. By deflection the edges of the element (line AB) are transformed into a circular curve. The upper edge AB of the element is decreased in length whereas the lower edge A1B1 is increased. The middle plane, representing the plane of symmetry, remains original in length and is therefore known as the neutral plane (or neutral axis). Fig 3.21 b) shows the situation on an isolated element. represents the radius of curvature of the neutral axis. dx is the original length of the free upper and lower edges. Both decrease and increase in length of the upper and the lower edge are denoted by x. Since the member is considered to undertake small deflections only, the curvature of the upper and lower edge is neglected. Furthermore the inclined left and right edges of the deformed element are considered to remain original in length.

3.4 Cross sections of different materials In the construction industry many structural members consist of more than only one material. Due to their properties some materials cope better with tensile stress whereas others deal well with compression (or are more cost effective). The most commonly composite material being implemented in the construction sector is steel reinforced concrete. To design a cross section consisting of more than one material it is necessary to develop a procedure to determine the stresses in each of the applied materials due to the given load situation. In this part of this chapter cross sections of two different materials are being investigated. The procedure developed can be projected on composite members consisting of even more than two materials. A cross section consisting of two different materials is shown in fig. 3.41a). Both of the applied materials have different elastic moduli (E1 and E2). At their surface of contact both materials are tightly fixed to one another, thus along this surface both materials develop an equal strain under the given load (1 = 2), see fig. 3.41c). Since the elastic moduli are different, a break along the stress distribution is found at the surface of contact ( = E), see fig. 3.41d). y y

fig 3.41a) d): determination of stress for composite cross sections

To determine the stresses existing in both materials a virtual cross section of one homogenous material is being constructed. For this the ratio n = E2/E1 is determined. The transformed cross section consists of an equal area of material 1 (unchanged). The area of material 2 is extruded parallel to the neutral axis by factor n, see fig. 3.41b). On the next step the centroidal axis of the transformed cross section is computed and the moment of inertia is determined. Now the stresses occurring along the cross section of the homogenous material (material 1) are calculated (e.g. 1 = 1 E1 = M/S). To determine the stresses existing along material 2, the respective results for material one are multiplied by factor n (2 = 2 E2 = 1 n). The same procedure can be used to determine the curvature of a composite cross section. In equation (3.19) the moment of inertia of the transformed cross section is applied.

Equation (6.4) is equal to equation (6.3). Since the principal directions (1) are obtained by equalizing equation (6.4) to zero it is concluded that: on planes on which maximum and minimum normal stresses occur (principal stresses), no shearing stresses are existent (1 = max, 2 = min, x'y' = 0).

Thus maximum shearing stresses occur on planes that are not necessarily free of normal stress, ' = x' = y'.

tan 22 =

hence directions of 22 and 21 are perpendicular, or directions of maximum normal (1) and maximum shearing stresses (2) are 45 apart. example: a state of pure shear can be transformed in a state of equal but opposite principle normal stresses under an incline of = 45

Equation (5.12) is representing a circle or radius r in the ,-plane, having its center at (',0). The ordinate of a point on the circle is the shearing stress x'y', the abscissa is the normal stress x'. The circle is called Mohrs Circle of stress. The state of stress under any arbitrary plane of incline is represented graphically. Constructing Mohrs Circle of Stress with x, y and xy as given values: set up a coordinate system, horizontal axis = , vertical axis = plot both stresses for x and y on the -axis respecting the algebraic sign (+/-) plot the shearing stresses xy using the opposite sign at x (e.g. (-), below the -axis, for xy being positive) and the correct sign at y (e.g. (+) for for xy (+)) connect both points by a straight line, the point of intersection with the abscissa is the center of the circle, now the circle can be drawn

The state of plane stress of an element is represented by the drawn circle. Any plane of incline is represented by a point on the circle. The angle of incline of the respected plane towards the initial x,y-system is equal to half of the value of the counterclockwise rotation (2) on the circle. (+) xy y (-) ' xy (+)

6 Stress Analysis
10/10

A member of a certain material subjected to an axial load can be easily tested in a tensile test. Thus the yield load and the ultimate load can be obtained. An allowed tension is defined to ensure a safe design. For any member in an bi- or tri-axial state of stress determining its load capacity and the parameter for a safe design is not that easy. A material specimen in a tensile test might well break along its shearing plane (45 incline, max = /2) and not along the plane of normal stress (perpendicular). Materials that are weak in shearing strength are expected to fail along the shearing planes (45 in pure tension or compression, 90 in pure torsion). Examples for materials showing such behaviour: mild steel, concrete or loam (in compression). Materials being weak in tensile strength will fail along the planes of normal stress (90 in pure tension or compression, 45 in pure torsion). Examples for materials showing such behaviour: sandstone, chalk. To enable a safe design, a certain stress limit condition has to be defined to be compared to the allowable stress being obtained by the tensile test. Only the maximum distortion energy theory will be mentioned here without indicating its derivation. It is denoted as the von Mises yield condition:

8 Buckling
Buckling is a sudden loss of stability that occurs to a member subjected to a compressive load. The system failure is caused by infinitesimal small deflections due to small imperfections being inherent in each structure. It relates to the geometry of the system (dimensions, boundary conditions, type of cross section) and the material applied (elastic modulus). 8.1 Stability of Equilibrium A vertical rigid bar (no bending) having a torsional spring of stiffness k at its support is subjected to a vertical load P.

Euler Formula, critical load for the pin-ended column

The Euler Formula for the pin-ended column is the fundamental case for the buckling analysis. Buckling will take place in direction of the least moment of inertia of the respective cross section. 8.3 Euler Formulas for various boundary conditions Due to the boundary conditions set for a member subjected to a compressive load, the differential equation v'' = -M/(EI) has different solutions. The solutions can be generalised and transformed to resemble the fundamental case of the Euler Formula for pin-ended columns by introducing Le as the effective length. In the analysis the effective length Le is used instead of the actual column length L. Le = KL P K = effective length factor P P

slenderness ratio

Euler Hyperbola:

critical stress versus slenderness ratio, applicable within the linear-elastic range

The Euler Hyperbola provides a general solution to determine the critical stress for any column according to its slenderness ratio. For long columns (large ratio of slenderness), the Euler Hyperbola can generally be applied. Exceeding the linear elastic range of the material, the proportional limit is reached, hence the Euler Hyperbola can no longer be used. The graph representing the critical stress therefore approaches the limit stress of the material (e.g. the yield point). Thus short column failure is not a failure due to stability but due to the strength of the applied material. Further criteria considering the buckling analysis of a column of a certain material can be found in the respective national codes.
