Stress and Strain

Normal Stress
Methods of statics allow us to determine forces
and moments in a structure, but how do we
determine if a load can be safely supported?
Factors: material, size, etc.
Need a new concept.Stress

Introduction

Normal Strain
Normal strain () is defined as the deformation per unit length
of a member under axial loading.

L
Normal strain is dimensionless but can be expressed in
several ways. Lets say L = 100 mm and = 0.01 mm.

Slide 12

= 0.01 mm / 100 mm = 1 x 10-4 or 100 x 10-6

= 100 (read as 100 microstrain)
= 1 x 10-4 in/in (if using English units)
= 1 x 10-4 * 100 = 0.01%
