Force-Deformation Relations
Recap: An Example
Aluminium rod, rigid supports.
Temperature raised by ΔT.
What are the stresses?
εxx = 0 = [σxx/E + αΔT]
Recap: Sign Convention
The sign of a stress
component depends on
the direction of normal
and the direction of force:
If both have same sign
then the stress
component is positive, if
z the two have different
signs, then the stress
x y component is negative.

Transformation of
Stresses and Strains
Recap: Stresses on Inclined
Plane
θ● P
A n Normal Force = Pcosθ
θ P
Tangential Force = Psinθ

Normal stress = Force/area
= Pcosθ/(A/cosθ)
= Pcos2θ/A
Shear Stress = Pcosθsinθ/A

δy τxy stresses in to
σxx δx σxx forces since
τxy
