Combined Stresses

Structural and machine components often

resist more than one type of loading acting
simultaneously.
For example, a shaft in torsion may be
subjected to bending because of its own
weight at the same instance.
Therefore, the effects of combined loadings
should be considered.

Combined stresses

The combined loadings which will be studied

are:

1.Shear load + Bending moment

2.Axial load + Bending moment
3.Axial load + Torsional loads
4.Bending moment + Torsional load
