Basic principle of analysis

Stress/strain (Equilibrium condition)
Material behavior

Structure in real world

Objective of the course

Examination of the load-carrying
capacity of a body from three
standpoints:
Strength
Stiffness
and Stability.

Tasks
Analysis of the stresses and deformations within a body
subject to a prescribed system of forces
Failure mode, load vs. stress/strain/deformation

Determination of the limiting values of load that a structural

element can sustain without suffering damage, failure or
compromise of function
Maximum allowable load, factor of safety

Determination of the body shape and selection of the

materials that are most efficient for resisting a prescribed
system of forces.
Dimension synthesis and material selection

Expectations of Chapter 1

State of stress
Stresses on any oblique plane

A cylindrical pipe of 160 mm outside diameter and 10 mm
thickness, spirally welded at an angle of F = 40o with the xdirection, is subjected to an axial compressive load of 150 kN
through the rigid end. Determine the normal stress and shear
stress acting simultaneously in the plane of the weld.
