TYPES OF STRESS
Internal forces produce by external forces
Stresses may be classified in two ways, i.e., according to the type of body on which
they act, or the nature of the stress itself. Thus stresses could be one-dimensional,
two-dimensional or three-dimensional as shown in the Figure

Scope of Treatment

 Above can be achieved by using fundamental Principles, these

are the law of forces, the laws of material deformation and the
conditions of geometric compatibility.
1. Analysis of the stresses and deformations within the body subjected
to a prescribed system of forces.

2. Determination by theoretical analysis or by experiment of the

limiting values of load.

3. Determination of the body shape and selection of materials that are

most efficient for resisting a particular system of forces under
specific conditions of operations.

Design Function (in terms of design of load carrying member)
1. Evaluate the most likely modes of failure of the member.

2. Determine the expressions relating applied loading to such effects are

stress, strain, and deformation.

3. Determine the maximum usable values of stress, strain, or energy.

4. Select a design factor of safety.
