Equilibrium of a Deformable Body
Equations of Equilibrium
 Equilibrium of a body requires a balance of forces
and a balance of moments
F  0 M O 0
 For a body with x, y, z coordinate system with origin
O,
F  0, F
x y  0, F z 0
M  0, M
x y  0, M z 0

 Best way to account for these forces is to draw


the body’s free-body diagram (FBD).

AVERAGE NORMAL STRESS IN AXIALLY LOADED BAR
Maximum average normal stress
• For problems where internal force P and x-sectional
A were constant along the longitudinal axis of the
bar, normal stress σ = P/A is also constant
• If the bar is subjected to several external loads
along its axis, change in x-sectional area may occur
• Thus, it is important to find the maximum average
normal stress
• To determine that, we need to find the location
where ratio P/A is a maximum

CHAPTER REVIEW
• Assumptions for a uniform normal stress distribution
over x-section of member (σ = P/A)
1. Member made from homogeneous isotropic material
2. Subjected to a series of external axial loads that,
3. The loads must pass through centroid of cross-section

CHAPTER REVIEW
• Determine average shear stress by using τ =
V/A equation
 V is the resultant shear force on cross-sectional
area A
 Formula is used mostly to find average shear
stress in fasteners or in parts for connections

CHAPTER REVIEW
• Design of any simple connection requires that
 Average stress along any cross-section not exceed a
factor of safety (F.S.) or
 Allowable value of σallow or τallow
 These values are reported in codes or standards and
are deemed safe on basis of experiments or through
experience
